LAST SUNDAYS PUBLIC EYER
CTSES.

1t is subject of just remark, that
OF the great number of persons who
visited this city from Chicago, Racine,
Milwaukee and elsewhere, there was
seen no disorderly conduct. The great
crowd who gathered to witness the
laying of the cornerstone, and listen
to the speakers, was respectful and
quiet. Most of those persons who
lounged about the streets on that day
were not properly participants in the
regular exercises. 1t had been expect
ed the city authorities would order
the closing of the liquor saloons, I'M
lawfully kept open on Sundays but
for some reason which does not appear
this was not done. The liquor saloons
were open all day Sunday and in the
evening. 1t is said some of the saloon
keepers claim to be Catholics, but, if
the fact be correctly reported, they
showed themselves unworthy of such
claim. The friends of the church had
provided eating places on Main street,
the profits of which were to be applied
to the church building fund. Scores
of hungry men, it is said, invested
very sparingly at the eating places,
preferring to spend their loose change
in the liquor saloons. Thus the liquor
sellers subtracted much that would
have gone to the benefit of the build
ing fund by keeping their shops open
in disregard to the laws of the state.

THE TELEGRAPH ENTERS UP
ON ITS 44th YEAR.

With this number the TELEGRAPH
enters upon the 44th year OF its publ
cation. It is now the Oldest newspaper
in Wisconsin, having been published
week by week without interruption
since June, 1910. The TELEGRAPH
was first printed in small one-story
building on aain street, on the lot
where The harness shop of Thomas
English now stands. Before the es-
tablishment of the paper, a spirited
contest prevailed between the inhabi-
tants on the north and south side OF
the river as to the location of the Of
fee; the proprietor finally decided in
favor Of the south, much to the dis
satisfaction of the north side. The
latter, however, were resolved on hav-
ing newspaper, and the following
year, 1841, the Southport american
was started on the north side. 1t is
proper to remark that at the period

FOURTH OF JULY At SALEM
STATION.

Citizens from the country towns in
form US that it is contemplated to
have grand 4th of July demonstra-
ton at Salem station. The object is
not only to hold the day in proper re-
collection, because of its historic mem
cries. but also to give new impulse to
leading industries of the county. For
this purpose the Bristol and Paris
Farmers Club" "Kenosha County
Farmers Society," and Kenosha County
Sheep Breeders and Wool Growers
Association" will unitedly participate
in the celebration. Some of these or
CARNATIONS need reyiving, and to take
fresh start. 1t is fitting to consider
our great home interests in connection
with our national independence. 1t is
hoped arrangements for such gather
ing of the people will be perfected.

REV. FRANK Z. LEE.

We have had frequent occasion to
speak of Rev. Frank T. Lee, formerly
of this city, now in Salt Lake City,
Utah. Judging from the frequent
mention of him in the Salt Lake papers,
it is reasonable to conclude as preach
er, and especially as platform speak
er, he takes the lead in that city. At a
Union meeting of christian denomina-
tions held in the opera house, as pro-
logue to the ceremonies of Decoration
Day, several speeches were made, which
were reported in the Salt Lake Tribune,
among which is one by Rev. Frank T.
Lee. AS specimen of patriotic senti'
ment, eloquently expressed and clothed
with beautiful language, it could not
we'll be surpassed.

CAPITAL OF DAKOTA.

The Territorial Capital Commission
ers who have been appointed to select
location for the capital, after exam
lining the claims of different points,
chose Bismarck, on the Missouri river
and or the line of the Northern Pacific
Railway. Whenever Dakota is divided
this will probably remain the capital
of the northern half. Dakota would
have been admitted into the Union of
states at the last session of Congress,
but was resisted by the Democrats for
the reason it would have given two
Republican members to the Senate,
which body is now about equally di-
vided politically. Opposition to the
admission of Dakota into the Union
will perhaps come from the same
source, and for like reason, at the
next session of Congress.

mentioned the population on the north
side was exclusively American; it is
now, and has been for fifteen or twenty
years past, almost wholly otherwise.
tits unnecessary to trace the changes
of proprietors and editors of the TELE-
GRAPH since its first establishment.
Suffice it to say, there have been quite
a number. Newspaper publishing, like
all other kinds of business, has under
gone many changes the past forty
years. During our existence as a terri
tory, and for several years after, the
weekly newspaper was about the only
channel through which the reading
people of the west obtained their earli-
est news of general interest. There
were no telegraphic lines, no railroad
transits. The mail coach was relied
upon for news from abroad. No daily
newspapers of Chicago or Milwaukee
distributed their issues among the peo-
pie as now. 1t will, therefore, readily
be seen that the weekly newspaper was
of great Importance as fountain of
general news. Then again the presses
and machinery used in newspaper of
fees have been radically changed !;
new Improvements have greatly facili-
tated the business of printing. But,
with all these mechanical advantages
the business of publishing a weekly
newspaper is less profitable now than
during the earlier years in Wisconsin.
Forty years ago, nearly every mer-
chant, mechanic and tradesman adyer-
tised in the weekly newspapers. The
advertising patronage has been largely
discontinued in the smaller cities and
village papers, while it has been kept
up in the large cities. This has worked
to the disadvantage of the weekly
newspapers, but still more so to our
merchants and dealers. People who
read the Chicago daily papers see at
tractively displayed advertisements of
desirable goods, and are led to do their
purchasing in that city because they
do not notice the goods they want adj
vertised in the home weekly papers
and In most cases to be had at prices
equally favorable. There are no doubt
large sums of money expended in Chi
cago every year by the people of this
city and county which would be paid
out to our home merchants and traders
were they at the same pains to adver-
tise what they have to sell as the Chi
cago merchants are. But there is M
| hope these currents of trade will bt
much changed; a lady's dress bought in
Chicago has prestige given il which
a dress purchased in Kenosha of The
same quality and at the same price
would not have.

An effort is being made, with hopes
of success, to raise $4,000 in Milwau-
kee, to erect a Young Mems Christian
Association building in business part
of the city, and to furnish it invitingly
for young men. Institutions of this
kind are found of the first importance
in cities. These agencies are the means
of drawing young men from the lower
and discreditable resorts to those of a
higher and q more enrolling kind.
Books, papers and lectures are the in
tellectual food of those who strive for
true responsibility, and honorable sue.
cess in life. The moral powers, too,
need to be cultivated to form the true
basis of character. Many cities and
villages Of less population than Keno
sha have associations of the kind here
mentioned. A small outlay to begin
with will suffice, if prudently and per-
severingly managed. Kenosha should
have at least one institution of an in
tellectual and moral character, to
which young men may be attracted.

WHAT STRANGERS SAY OF
KENOSHA.

Judging from the remarks of strang-
ers who visit this city, Kenosha enjoys
an enviable reputation at least in one
respect. A case in point may be given.
Two intelligent agents, who have been
employed for several years past in the
western states in taking orders for or
namental shrubbery, small fruits and
Towering plants, say that in their OBJ
servation in many different cities and
villages they have seen few, if any,
that Surpass Kenosha in well kept
yards, handsome grass plats and fine
shrubbery. Another marked attrac-
ton, they tell us, is the beautiful dis
play of flowers and plants in the win
dows of so large a proportion of the
dwelling houses. This only confirms
what so many other visitors from
abroad have said of us. If Kenosha
cannot boast of the rapid increase of
new dwellings and business establish
ments as some of its neighbors, it has
the merit of yearly improving the
homes and surroundings of its inhab-
itantS. 1t is more pleasant to dwell in
a city where care is taken to beautify
home residence than in a city where
all is dash, upheaval and neglect.

lions last November is very uncer-
tain basis of calculation. Were this
the first time defeat has happened to
the party, it might lead to the conelu
sion that the Republicans will be
hopelessly in the minority in the next
Presidential contest. But the past
Republican record shows the party
has in former years met with repulses
greater than last year, and followi ng
such defeats has triumphantly Tegained
all and even more than they lost.
That the last elections, state and con-
gressional, were generally conducted
on national issues, no intelligent man
pretends to assert. The example of
the congressional election in this dis
trict is but the history of many others.
Have any Of the principles enunciat-
ed in the national Republican platfor m
during the past fifteen years become
unpopular? Instead of their growing
into disfayor, even our Democratic
neighbors are taking to them with
favor, and the danger is, in their
anxiety to win in the next Presiden
tial campaign, they will steal the livery
of the Republican platform. They
have already appropriated to their own
use nearly all of the Republican doc
| trineS, even a tariff for revenue and
incidental protection. Not long ago
there was manifest purpose to go in.
to the next national campaign under
| the free trade banner; but the Demo
cratic leaders have called halt, and
now declare the party cannot conquer
under that flag. 1t is now the belief
that in, view of the discordant opinions
on the tariff, the next national Demo
cratic convention will ignore that
question entirely, or, what is equiva
lent to that, frame an expression OF
opinion by an ingenious play Of words,
SO that it can be construed free trade
or tariff, whichever suits the average
voter best. If the Republican party
desire to regain what has been lost,
and maintain the standard which car
ried us safely through the war-which
brought us through the troubles fol
lowing the war, and placed the country
on financial basis more firm than eyel
before enjoyed-let it stand by the
principles Of government to which We
we are indebted for our present pros
perity.

THE PAST AND FUTURE OF
REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES.

1t is an unreasonable time to dis
cuss the political situation, especially
in this state, where no important cleo
tions are to be held for considerable
time to come. Were it not that the
Republican party is being damaged by
ill-considered remarks fro m those in
its ranks who are looked upon as
leaders, and whose expressed opinions
are regarded as of some account, it
would not justify any mention at this
time. There are Republicans who,
with an air of wise perception of the
future, say the Democrats will win in
the next Presidential election When
asked the reason for such an opinion,
they refer to the last fall elections,
which resulted so unfavorably to the
Republicans. To estimate the future
probabilities on the result of the cleo

LAYING THE CORNER STONE


The corner stone of the new st.
James Catholic church in this city
was laid with imposing ceremonies on
Sunday afternoon last. There was
threatened rain during almost the en-
tire day, but no storm interfered with
the exercises. The number of people
assembled on the occasion is estimated
from three to four thousand. Sixteen
Weil-flled passenger cars came from
Chicago and twelve from Milwaukee
and Racine. A procession of great
length, composed of the different or
ders and societies, in their respective
uniforms, marched through the streets,
accompanied by six full bands of mu-
sic. The procession was the largest
ever seen in this city since its first set
Element. Among the societies in at
tendance were: Holy Family Cadets
and Hibernian Rifles, of Chicago; the
Knights of st. Patrick and Hibernians
of Milwaukee; st. Georges Society,
Young Mems Society and Hibernians,
of Kenosha. and other Chicago, Mil
waukee and Racine Societies. There
were present Archbishop Heiss, Faith
ers Fairbanks, Abellen, Lalumiere and
Demester, of Milwaukee; Fathers s.
j. j. Keogh and Hogan, Of Chicago,
and Fathers Fessler, Kunziger, Rainier
and Laboule, of st. Francis; Fathers
Matthews, Feckler and Albers, of Ra-
cine; Rev. Father Thos. Pagan, Bay
View; Father O'Brien, Oak Creek
Father Fitzhenry, Bristol; Father
Bloom, New Munster, and Father
Etchmen, of Brighton.
Archbishop Heiss directed the cere-
monies, and Father Fairbanks, of Mil
waukee, preached the sermon, which
was an eloquent production, founded
upon the following texts:
"The foundations thereof are III the
holy mountains. The Lord loyeth the
gates of Zion above all the tabernacles
of Jacob. "-PS. &C.
"Built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief cornerstone, in
whom all the buildings, being framed
together, groweth up into an holy tenn
pie in the Lord" -Eph. 2, 20 and 81.
Amount realized from the collection
taken and refreshments sold not yet
ascertained.
The new st. James church edifice
will be 125 by IS feet, costing about
$4,000. The corner stone laid on Sun
day last at the northwest corner of the
building is of white marble. Enclosed
under it is box containing in English
and Latin the history of the church,
name of the reigning Pope, President
of the U. S., Governor of the State,
Mayor of the city. Also copies Of the

How to escape a tornado or cyclone
has become question of some import
ance. There has, up to the present
time, been presented no better theory
of escape than that in practice fol-
years past. On the approach of VIC
lent tempest, the best refuge is the
cellar, the west end or the southwest
corner being the safer part. If the
cellar caunot be reached, then the per.
son caughtin the storm should fall on
the ground, face downward, until the
danger is past. These means of escape
must suffice until wiser methods shall
be suggested.
