J. E. PLATT.

J, E. Platt died on Monday morning
of this week. His sickness was of brief
| duration, although for the last two years
he was losing in yigor, something which
he attributed to growing years, but which
was In realty the encroachings of the
disease to which he lately succumbed.
He was born in Saratoga Co. n. Y. Sept.
-, 1915, and is the last survivor Of =
family of eleven. At an early age he
moved to Lisbon, \. Y. where he lived on
farm until moving west. He settled at
kenosha in 1916 The following year in
company with James Kern he came to
Manitowoc with small vessel load of
goods They sold out the stock in one
day. Believing that Manitowoc was a
good place IN which to do business they
bnilt small store on the corner of 9TH
and Commercial streets. and commenced
business, which consisted largely In
exchanging supplies for lumber and
shingles. Trading vessels were sent
along the north shore and five branch
establishments were located throughout
the county. When his business grew he
built the large frame store on York
street. In this the business was carried
on successfully under the firm name OF
J. E. Plat & Bros. and Platt, Villas x Co.
Later he built the fine brick store on
York and 9th streets in which the bust
ness of Platt, Gray & Foster was carried
on.
Mr.. Platt received a common school
education and taught school when seven
teen years of age. He was man of in
domitable purpose, strong in body and
in ind,and of most profound convictions.
He was one of the pioneer business men
of the city and forged his way to the front
with enterprise and industry as his only
capital. He acquired considerable pro-
perty, largely in the shape OF real estate
as he was always hopeful of the future of
the city.
The younger men of this city who are
now guiding its destinies have not a full
knowledge of MIR. Platt's work In advanc-
ing its interests. He was one of the most
active among those energetic spirits who
built the city from nothing until it stood
in position which justified predictions
of large measure of prosperity. He
was one of those who laid the foundation
on which success is possible.

THE political partnership heretofore
existing between The Pilot and Bill Eat
ough Is hereby declared busted because
of Bills failure to get there. The eleven
democrats took Bill to be political
Moses who could lead them out of the
house of bondage. Instead, Bill sat down
with them and became bondman too.
To whom now shall we look for relief?
For years every man who put foot in
side the ward with intent to remain has
been made candidate. But none OF EN-
has been any good. The eleven demo-
Gratis should be distributed among the
different wards OF the city. They are
tired and need a little rest. You
couldn't hire one of them to run for office
any more. They are sick of the business.
Their hopes went up high when Bill Eat
ough came among them. He had all the
appearances of good racer. But appear
ances are deceptive; he isn'tabit better
than the rest of us.

ADoLPH CHLoUPEK, Justice of the
peace in Kossuth, this county lately drew
up a conveyance of land. The parties
who sold were young people born in this
country, but were unable to sign their
names. There were eleven persons pres
ent and the justice asked that two come
forward as witnesses to the signature by
mark of those who made the deed. Not
one of the eleren could Urite his name.
And still we are told by George Peck and
Boss Hinsey that there is no need of a
compulsory school law. 1t is too bad
that such demagogues have it in their
power to fool the people.

NOTWITHSTANDING all the instructions
late law, the clerks say mistakes were
quite numerous. Many persons instead
of making a cross after the names of those
for whom they wished to vote, crossed
out the other names and failed to indi-
cate their choice by means of a cross.
But the system will become popular
when understood, except by those who
are unable to read or write The law
needs amending in its provisions regard
ing caucuses and nominating conven-
tions. Otherwise it is an excellent law

The supreme court has reversed the
decision of the lower court in the chart
vari case from Calumet county. Nina
CHAN wounded some young fellows who
were engaged in charivari and he was
sued. He was fined and then sued for
damages. Again the case went against
him and he took an appeal. The court
decides in strong language that a CHAIR
vari may properly be regarded as riot
and that man is justified in defending
his ON home This is a righteous de-
cision and will do much toward discour-
ageing the barbarous practice which
has always been treated too leniently.

BEWARE of experimental Binders and
Mowers. Let the manufacturer do the
experimenting at his own expense. Per
Torrance beats promise, and it is best
for farmer to buy a machine that has
an established reputation in his vicinity.
The manufacturers of the Champion
keep their machines abreast of the times
at their own expense. This is the third
harvest for their Chain Drive, Raise and
Lower Binder. Each harvest has
brought many improvements. Other
manufacturers are initiating. The ,mita-
ton is never as good as the original.

A gentleman of this city of German
parentage had communication in The
Sentinel of last Sunday on the Bennett
law, which was temperate and candid
discussion of that measure. If people
would only view this matter dispassion-
ately, as this gentleman does, all except
those having a personal interest in OPP
position would favor the law. But the
fact is there's no use in agument. Those
opposed to the law are not open to con-
viction; they refuse to listen to reason.

THE storm of Thursday night was a
fearful one in some localities. Louisville,
Ky. suffered severely both in loss of life
and property. It is estimated that 80
persons lost their lives and that property
to the value OF million dollars was de-
stroyed The area laid waste is over
three miles in length and a half mile in
width. The greatest loss of life took
place in a hall in which number of chil-
dren were taking dancing lessons. The
signal service had given notice of the
approach of the storm but no heed was
given the warning.
