MUST OBEY THE LAW.
Health ofhcer cleary will Prosecute De-
linquent Physicians

1t is not improbable that in few
days number of we'll known physi
clans of Kenosha will be arrested on a
charge of violating the state laws in
regard to reporting cases of contagious
diseases to the health officer. The
matter is one of vital Importance, and
the health officer says it is being Grim
inally neglected. The health officer
fears that a scOurge of diphtheria may
result from the action of these doctors
in allowing the houses of diseased
patients to remain unquarantined.
Only yesterday child died from diph
liberia and the health officer had heard
nothing of the case until it was report
ed to him through the columns of the
daily papers. Children of families
afflicted with the dread disease have
been allowed to continue their work in
the city schools and in this manner
hundreds OF the little ones have been
exposed.
The state law is very plain on this
point, and prescribes fine of $50 for
each offense where the doctor fails to
report cases of contagious diseases to
the proper authorities.
Dr.. Cleary says that forbearance has
ceased to be virtue and in the future
any doctor who fails to make an imme-
date report will receive the full penalty
of the law. The health officer also
raises a complaint in regard to one of
the undertakers burying bodies without
getting out the proper permit before
the remains are placed in the grave.
These men seem to think it is sufficient
for the undertaken to notify the health
officer that death has occurred and
secure the permit whenever an Oppor-
tune time may be found. Health laws
are the most important on the statute
books and KenOsha is fortunate to have
a man in the Office of the health de-
partment who is ready and willing to
enforce the law.

{. BURTON HOLMES LECTURES
AT kEMPER HALL.
RAISING STARS AND STRIPES
Pathetic Story of the Lowering of Hawaii
Flag Picturesque Manners and
Customs of our Newly Ac-
quired Brothers.

Hawaii is at present an interesting
subject for Americans, and it was
doubly interesting for those who had
the good fortune Wednesday night &c
listen to lecture delivered by E. Bur
ton Holmes at Kemper Hall on " a
| Trip to the Hawaiian Islands. :" The
lecturer illustrated his subject with
beautifully colored photographs and
moving pictures.
Mr.. Holmes has become almost a
part of the institution at Kemper Hall,
and his yearly engagement is always
anticipated by the girls with a great
deal of pleasure. The audience was
larger than usual, for several persons
from the town were present.
The ship that took Mr.. Holmes to
Honolulu was the first American vessel
to reach that port for several days, and
it was greeted by crowds of people.
On inquiry it was learned that the
cause of the welcome was bulletin
posted in the town announcing that the
United States Senate had passed the
bill for the annexation of Hawaii.
Photographs of different places in
Honolulu revealed scenes that were
purely American, and the lecturer said
that, on the whole, the capital was a
typical American city.
Mr. Holmes described pathetically
the lowering of the native flag and the
hosting of the American stars and
stripes In connection with the Ha-
waiian flag he told of the circumstances
that led to it's adoption. 1t seems that
about eighty years ago King Kan
chameha came to the conclusion that
what his country needed most was a
national banner. Eager to secure the
best and the prettiest flag he looked up
some pictures from which to make a
selection. With strange prophetic
and suspicious instinct he chose the
United States flag, and struck with it's
beauty he proclaimed that the flag
that now waves over Hawaii should be
the national ensign. Great Britain,
however, envious of the choice, de-
handed that her flag be the one to
float over the royal palace and that the
Union Jack be the flag of Hawaii.
Kamchameha, good, easy soul, COM
promised. He took the Jack" part
of the English flag and put it where the
stars stand, retaining the stripes of the
American flag. Thus the national en-

IT seems to surpass the understand
ing of the average Democrat that a
man can take the stump in cam
paign for candidate whose nomina-
ton he bitterly opposed. Many Dem
ocrats throughout the State are still
standing agog at the announcement
that Bob La Toilette is actually go
ing to enter active service in the inter
ests of the Republican party Nobody
needs to be told that La Toilette did
oppose Gov. Scofield, but we have yet
to learn that he supported another
party than the Republican or fought
on any other principles. Finding his
opposition in the minority, Mr.. La Fol-
lette did what was to be expected
nnder the circumstances. He couldn't
get what he wanted, so he is wise
enough to do the next best thing, as he
regards it. His idea was to improve
upon the Republican administration.
This being the case, what sane man
weuld expect him to resort to the
Democratic party or Democratic meth
DDS His conduct is natural and very
wise.

AFTER reading the Speeches made
at the Chicago Peace Jubilee one
would be pardonable for mistaking it
for big Republican rally. This is not
the case, however, it is only a vast
assemblage of patriotic Americans,
leaders of both of the great political
parties, conspicuous public men of all
shades of political belief, are vieing
with one another in enthusiasm over
the great achievements of the past
four months, and pride in the
glorious future of their country
The lesson of the jubilee is,
that regardless of politics, and
dogma, the prevailing sentiment
in the heart of Americans is love of
country and loyalty to the magnificent
institutions which characterize her.

If the silver question was an i'm

now. With our increased territory
and the additional sponsibilities
which our new position. among the ma

the credit and currency of the United

Herbert read the welcome news in

carefully, and as its full import dawned
upon him exultation took the place of
dependency in his breast. lie picked
up re draft with feeling OF elation.

Just then his eye happened TO rest
upon some very neat algebraic char

purposely directed mot to be erased"
in order TO attract the wondering atten-
ton of his visitors that afternoon. An
instant change came over his spirits.
"Stll / would have enjoyed another

The gathering dusk OF a winters day
admonished him not TO linber further,
and he began 10 gather up ais books
with constantly sinking heart. lie
had nearly completed his task when
heavy footsteps and deep-toned voices
in the hallway attracted his attention
and in walked Director Hathaway,
Moderator Stevens and Assessor Sim
mons.

pleasant salutation of the ex-school
master.
Good evening"" replied the director,
in n somewhat embarrassed tone. 1--WE

late. But we've jest had board meet

the young man appeared to SHOW" his
interested and interesting pupil.
Such amiability, however, was not at
all pleasing TO John Warren, another OF
the Oldest. though by no means bright
est, scholars in school. Before the adj
vent OF the new teacher, John had been
the recipient OF an occarional smile
from the directors daughter, but Of
late the young lady had apparently for
gotten the young man In her deep alb
sorption in algebra and history.
1t was this unfortunate condition,
speaking from John Warren's stand
point. that had led TO Mr.. Aliens dis
comhture. Squire Warren was a neigh
Dor OF Director Hathaway and the two
farmers were firm friends. So when the
squire's son began TO make disparaging
remarks about the teacher, and the IA
ther, whose faith In his only son was
unbounded, had become prejudiced
against the young man, he mentioned
the matter TO the director and easily
persuaded that worthy official, whose
acquaintance with the teacher had ex-
tended little farther than had been in
cidental TO the duty Of making con-
tract with him. that young Allen" was
not eft person 10 conduct our school.
lie Is too familiar with the scholars and
hasn't enough dignity TO fill such re-
sponslble position"
Director Hathaway was a man OF
promptness and decision, whose will
was law with the board, so when he
called his colleagues together and de
livered the opinion that the teacher was
too young and inexperienced TO con-
duct the winter term, the assessor and
the moderator meekly acquiesced,
though they both felt in their hearts
that the young man had performed
his duties well.
So IL came about during the last week
OF the term that Mr.. Allen had been
given formal notice that his services
would not be needed any longer. He
had been greatly surprised and morti-
fled at this announcement, and his pu-
pills had shown their disapproval of the
boards arbitrary action in a way that
threatened open revolt-all but John
Warren, who could hardly reprcss his
exultation at the turn affairs had taken.
One year before this incident Herbert
Allen had been the favored son OF a
rich merchant in an eastern city. His
mother had long been in the grave and
Herbert had spent most of his boyhood
days in famous preparatory school.
Just as he was ready to enter college,
financial disaster came upon his father,
resulting in his ruin and subsequent
death. This sudden blow of fate left
Herbert dependent upon his own re-

and last night after school the whole
crowd of scholars came traipsin' down
to my house with petition askin' us
to reconsider our vote. So, Mr.. Teach
er, we have thought best TO yield 10 all
this pressure and ask you TO stay. What
is more. we've decided TO raise your
wages TO $50 a month"
During this long speech the spirits of
the young man again rose 10 an exult-
ant pitch, but he replied in n calm and
dignifed tone, which the gathering
darkness helped him 20 assume:
Gentlemen, IL is indeed gratifying
10 me that you have thus INDICATED me
from the suspicion of failure In my
work. But whether / can accept your

The interview was now ended. and the
board solemnly and with some surprise

New Years morning, as the young
teacher repaired TO the home of the d.

acter, he made his way TO the west and
finally found the congenial work in the
country school which he had pursued
so happily until n cruel fate had again
thrown him upon selfish world
without the means OF employment.
Finally the young ex-teacher. as he
now felt himself To be. was aroused
from his reverie by rap ut the door,
and before he could collect his wan
dering thoughts n curly-pated lad,
breathless from running, stumbled in
TO the room with n letter in his hand.
