SURELY pride cometh before fall

has done aboutiits getting the govern

absorb Chicago, Wisconsin and a
few other adjacent cities and states,

the pulpit by one who does not shrink
from the truth, howsoever disagree
able, that the village Of Waukegan is
wearisome, stale, fiat and Improbable,
and its people are dull, stupid. and
stagnant. Out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaketh.

ANOTHER evidence of improved

ANOTHER evidence of improved
business conditions is found in the
decreased number and liabilities of the
business failures throughout the
United States. Bradstreet's report
states that the total number of failures
of firms, individuals and corporations,
including banks, for the year just
closed, shows a failing off of 1000
failures and of Is 3 per cent compared
with 1896.

THERE is confusion of tongues over
ahe evils of gambling dens and gamb-

nothing disturbs the tranquility OF the

reign no one presumes to modest.

At this season of teachers cOnven-
lions and meetings of educational asso7
Citations the subject of higher educa-
ton is brought conspicuously before
the public: This is as it should be, for
the public is prominently interested
in q work concerning the training of
the youth of the country, upon whom
the responsibilities of state and ma
tional affairs are soon to rest. Among
the questions thus brought up for dis
cussion are those of the comparative
worth of the schools of today with
those of past years and the relative
usefulness of large and small colleges.
1t is indisputable that there are GER
tain malicious evils threatening the
students of our largest colleges which
were not noticeable in former years and
which are not the usual accompani-
ments of a course of study in any of
the smaller institutions. 1t is this fact
which has occasioned doubt of the
benefit to young men in college edu
cation received at the leading univer-
stiles of the land. These evils were
pointed out by Mr. Revell in his speech
before the educational association OF
Chicago. They consist of the numer
Gus side issues attaching to such a
course and the luxurious conditions
which surround the student III his
fraternity home and elsewhere; the
prominence of athletics, the demands
of fraternites and club relations and
numberess other things which are
inseparable from the life of the aver
age college student in such institutions
as Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
etc. Of course the smaller col
leges, being unable to support
these appurtenances these dangers
are eliminated. Until recently the
largest seats of learning were unac-
quainted with the paraphernalia, of
modern days and our fathers thus es-
capped much of their evil influence.
But while all this is true the main
fault and only opportunity for remedy
and the weakness of human nature.
Even the smallest colleges afford many
instances which go to prove that the
environment of college life has little to
do with the result of school work when
compared with the circumstances Of
the student himself. The rich young
man, unless embodying considerable of
industry and studiousness, usually
writes the same history of college
days whether at small or large col
lege. He does no more than is abso-
lutely necessary, devotes too much
time to Frat" surrounds himself
with too many of ..the terminating &C
coutrements of the gentleman so called,
and spends his fathers wealth, of
which he does not know, and is doing
nothing to learn the value. The re-
suits of a college course spent in this
way are bad, but are almosd invariably
associated with large schools because
the sons of wealth flock thither.
Given tho same nature and equal
social and financial conditions and the
superiority of the larger schools, with
their immense facilities and oppor-
tunities for mental. and physical Guilt
walton cannot be gainsaid.

THE last of the old year marked the
exit of the slot machines, but the first
of the new witnessed the entrance of a
big crap game and table with requisite
capital to back it, There is something
peculiar in our code, or administration,
or somewhere, which allows Of our be-
coming saturated with a given form of
abuse before remedial steps are taken.
When the point of saturati0n has been
reached while the iE1uX may continue
an outflow must begin. We seem to
have reached that point just now. For
the past few months we have been
bothered with the presence of slot
machines. They are no Sooner re-
moved than another gambling device,
against which the law explicitly pro-
vides, steps in to take the vacated
place.
The slot machine IS undoubtedly a
menace This our law makers recog-
nzed and made provision against it..
The law, however, is merely a passive
instrument. It's potency depends upon
the executives. While the slot ma
chine has been holding high carnival in
our midst. those elected to guard
against sucn evils have evidently been
unaw Ire of it's existence. When they
were awakened to the true state of af-
fairs by letter from private citizen
published in the EVENING NEWS, the
machines were disposed Of quickly
enough to convince all fair minded
people that they could have been
elected much sooner had only some
thoughtful citizen like Mr.. Zens vol
unteered the information of their pres
ence; for how could the officials be ex-
pected to take action against thing
they knew not Of 9he failure to ap-
prise the auth&ss'e.8s appears in the
light Of the grossest negligence when
we consider that there was scarcely q
| private citizen in the city who did not
know enough of the presence of slot
machines to give them notice some
months before.
But they are gone, and the next
thing to attract public attention and
comment is the crap game. AS just
stated, the public is informed of the
crap games appearP nee even to the
time of its arrival and the place of it's
! location. This information we cheer
fully give for the benefit Of our officials
in order that they not be hampered by
! ignorance on the subject, but condemn
and abolish the thing with becoming
alacrity. For like purposes and for
the benefit of those who may innocent
ly associate themselves with gam
bling device we also publish Section
4531, Chapter 1856, Sanborn & Berry
mans laws of Wisconsin, which deals
with the subject in hand:
"Any person who shall knowingly
! sufter or permit any CaOle, WneeI OF
other construction, or any cards, dice
or other device, scheme, continuance or
thing, adapted, suitable, devised, de-
signed, or which can or shall be used
for gambling purposes, to be set up,
kept, managed or used, or gambling or
betting thereon or by means thereof, in
any house, building, she'd, booth, or in
any lot or premises by him owned, oc-
cupied or controlled, shall be punished
by imprisonment in the county jail, not
moro than six months or by fine not
exceeding $780,"

Pleasant Surprise.

About dozen friends of j. G.. Gott-
fredsen planned and executed a very
pleasant surprise party on him Monday
evening at his home on Park avenue.
The occasion was the seventy third
anniversary of his birthday, and it is
doubtful if Mr.. Gottfredsen has ever
enjoyed a birthday anniversary more
than this one.
The evening was spent playing cinch
and euchre until II o'clock, when an
elegant supper was served. Those
present were the families of George,
William and Jacob Vollmer, and the
family of G.. c. Limpert.

A. A. REIL SELLS OUT.
Main Street Grocer Sells his Business to
Eda Minehardt, of Burlington.


Eda Minehardt, of Burlington.
The grocery business heretofore
owned by A. A. Rel on Main street has
been sold to Eda Minehardt, of Bur-
lington, Wis. The transfer took place
Tuesday afternoon and the new owner
is now in charge Of the stock and fix
lures. The reason the sale was made
was the fact that Miss Minehardt was
a heavy creditor of the former owner
of the store and held notes against him
for more than $4,000. In order to Sc
cure herself it was deemed best that
she should take possession of the stock.
The sale is not in the way of an assign
ment, but is simply sale to satisfy
business relations. The business will
be continued at the old stand until
other arrangements can be made.

If the inability of those who desire
small Jobs done to find any one at
leisure 60 do them is an evidence OF
good times, certainly Kenosha has no
reason to complain. 1t is not at all
unusual to hearl some one remark that
he or she is unable to secure help,
either temporarily or permanently. Ii
a woman wants a dressmaker or some
washing done she must engage from
two weeks to month in advance. Ii
a man wants his back yard cleaned or
some wood split he must give notice a
week ahead and then run the chance OF
having to wait a fortnight. This
means that the city labor is employed
or that there is more than sufficient for
all who may be unemployed if they
desire employment. This is a prosper
Gus condition of affairs. We would all
much rather wait for our work to be
done than feel that there were many
idle, for whom hire could not be found.

ACCORDING to a Washington dis
patch to the Milwaukee Sentinel there
will be a warm time in the Senatorial
campaign in Wisconsin next fall. There
is promise of nearly dozen candidates
for nomination among the republicans.
The list includes the following familiar
names: Henry G. Payne and Joseph
Y. Quarles, of Milwaukee; Isaac
Stephenson, of Marinette; James IL.
Stout, of Menominie; Alexander stew
art, of Wausau; Robert M. LaFollette,
of Madison; Joseph W. Babcnck, of
Necedah; Michael Griffin, of EauClaire;
Henry A. Cooper, of Racine; William
D. Hoard, of Fort Atkinson, and Sam
uel A. Cook, of Neenah.
About a year ago the EVENING
NEWS in an editorial mentioned the
name of Joseph Y. Quarles in connec-
ton with the Senatorship. 1t was
shortly after the general election when
his very efficient work had brought
him prominently before the public,
that we ventured the suggestion. 1t
was made in the consciousness that
Mr.. Quarles has now so lucrative a
business that the Senatorship would
necessarily entail sacrifices which he
might not feel disposed to undergo. In
an interview with him, however, we
received sufficient assurance of his
willingness to accept the nomination,
that we felt justified in making COM
