We cannot say whyt they do it unless it is because they are too lazy to take it to the dump ground themselves. We are advised, hqwever, tha’g this is being done in Bemidji. Not on vacant lots, mind you, but | right over the back fence next door, This is pontrary_ to Ia_w and Bl our advice to those suffering from mean nelghpurs in this way is to watch them and catch them at it. The rest is easy. . There seems alsoto be another class of people who get rid of their garbage by taking it with them when they go out pf ; town on some of the main roads and, when a convenient dis- tance from town, throw it off on the side of the road. .We have seen evidences of thig in different places. There is a dump ground not any farther out than the location where some of th;s refuse was dumped and the dump ground is the place for this ish. l‘ubbSt:me of the vacant lots in the downtown district are clean for the first time in years and they look like different lots en- tirely. Others are still eyesores with no attempt whatever to clean them up. We got a whiff from the basement of a build- ing the other day that would do credit to a hog pen. We sug- gest the health officer take a walk down thg same alley some i day just before dinner, he won’t get past it without knowing it By This is the week assigned for the general cleanup of the & city. Ninety per cent of it is already cleaned up and has been for some time, but the other ten per cent spoils the looks of the! ninety until it is cleaned up. Let us get it 100 per cent cleaned. EWie W SCOOTING IS GOOD We note in the daily press that the draft evaders are to be gathered in and punished. A : Following our usual custom, advance information has been published broadcast, in order that the guilty may take to the tall timber while yet there is time, . 0 ; If any be overbold, and remain in their atcustomed haunts, possibly some other form of warning will be employed, coupled with an urgent intimation that it is time to scoot while the scoot- ing is good. If any are so foolish as to continue to decline to take safety in flight, we presume they will be reluctantly pinched and po- lately requested to face the music. ¢ \ In any other country the arrests would be 'made first and * the blowing done afterwards. : Good-bye, slackers! Go as far as you can and forget to return. i Money or Character? Michael Cudahy was a great man in his day, building up a big meat packing industry, and accumulating a fortune of several million dollars— all of which he left behind him, and when he made his exit he only took with him the character he had developed on earth. He was told many times and oft that his life was a great success, and he probably departed with that pleasant idea fixed in his mind. This week his son Jack committed suicide, because he could not get his sister’s indorsement for a $10,000 loan. He was a great sport, and as long as he had money was much in the limelight, Jacl: had plenty of ability, but he was given too much money by his father. Many a man has gone to his reward leaving behind but little material wealth, but whose sons and daughters were real men and women, workers in the world’s welfare. Is the successful man the one who leaves wealth to ruin his sons, or the man whose sons make their own way upward to a splendid manhood? 3 Is real success represented by dollars or character?—S¢.

Governor Miller of New York has just sig“ned a bill .which provides that any landlord in New York state who refuses to rent his property to people because they have children will be guilty of a mis- demeanor.
