A TYPICAL CHANT.

To the pessinisis. the men who are
predicting nil sorts of disasters to the
republic of the United States because ii
has put off its swaddlng clothes. aud
who shrink before the new issues aud
predict disasters resulting from these
issues, we commend the Decoration Day
address OF Henry Watterson. mt Louis
Vile. in which he proclaimed his faith
in the American republic when he said.

fathom them? Who shall forecast them?

That is doubtless Il very comfortable
state of mind. 1t is certainly a typical
utterancc of the imperiaistic sort. 1t
is the kind of stuff sane Americans have
come to expect from that large element
that would substitute the incohcrcnt
squawk of the lingo for the calm utter
ance Of the statesman as directing
force in national affairs. q,
The impclialist finding himself in

ideals antagonistic to the fundamental
principles of righteous government as

what lies beyond" Very charming, very
charming But what lies beyond has
way of lifting the veil without the aid
of and despite the frenzied orator. That
ant something, beyond the American
people are beginning to suspect without
the aid of the Hon. Henry as a curtain
raiser Nor is Mr.. Watterson alone in
his coyness to hoist the veil. SO far no
advocate of imperialism has undertaken
to say what is next on the program.
To every inquiry of the citizen, every

HOW TRUSTS KILL.

Sometime ago we printed how flour
fishing town in Pennsylvania had become
deserted village because its chief in
dustrial plant had been purchased by Il
trust and shut down. Hundreds of men
were driven out of employment i'll the
same way, and when the extraordinary
demand for goods, caused by the war,
ceases many thousand more men vii, he
in like manner thrown out of employ
ment
The Washington Post gives in ac-
count of the effect of the trust methods
in one town as follows:
'"lhe town of Paramount, nelr Cincin
natl affords pertinent illustration of
this phase of trust operations. The
American Steel and Wire Company
OWNS wire fence works there that haSI
been in operation for twenty years or
more. Until recently these works em-
ployed 800 men, nearly all of whom lived
in Eairnlount or its immediate vicinity.
The pay-rolls amounted to something
like $1,000 "a week-more than S25O, 600
Il year. 1t is said that employment was
steady, wages good, and that many uf
the workmen own their homes. FAIR
mount was. in fact, typical nlanufac,
turing village. Last Tuesday niyat the
works closed-'closed down indefinitely
The trust does not need them, because
it can make all the wire it can sell at
other points where production is cheaper.
These works were purchased at high fig

Their cost, as well as that of others
similarly treated, has gone, with nobody
knows how much water. into the capital
ization of the great combine.
This sort of thing bears hard on the
displaced workmen and their families.
1t is more of a tragedy than n comedy.
And this is what is going on i'll many
another town. But the injury is not con-
fined to the workmen and their depend
ents. The weekly payment OF 5000

the town and among the farmers Of the
adjacent country. Trade Will lan-dish.
the value of real estate will decline
and discomfort will prevail where pros
perity and happiness abolmded."
The Post has not joined in the CRIT
sadie against trusts, and it is therefore
significant when it admits that sin many
of the States there are small towns that
have been blasted by the trusts through
the shutting down of manufacturing es
Establishments"
The day is not far distant when the
people will not tolerate a trust or polit-
ical party that is controlled by these out
laws of commerce.

The Michigan State industrial sch Dol

One of the teachers, Miss Oaks, who

Mrs. Sickles gave her twenty-five or
thirty blows with rubber tubing split into

covered with courtplaster for answering

One of the pupils testified that she
had been striped and given thirty-six
lashes with IA rubber hose as a puni sh-
nlent for remark about one OF the
teachers. She was black and blue for
a month. The report continues:
Mrs. Helen NJ. Babcock, "a former

WANT A CAR FERRY.
Northwestern Railway Company May
Build One at This Point.

It is reported that in the near future
petition will be presented to the
Common Council askirg for the grant
ing of franchise for the construction
of steam railway to be built along the
lake front for the purpose of connecting
the local lines of the Northwestern
Railway with car ferry which will be
built across the lake at this point. The
rumor comes from a splendid source
and it is we'll known that the railroad
company have long intended to make
such line and ferry. The local Off
Gals of the company say that they
know nothing of the scheme, but they
state that it has been favOrite plan OF
the company for many years. The
advantages of the construction OF such
ferry cannot be overestimated. 1t
would have the effect of making Keno
sha a great shipping center, second
only to Chicago and Milwaukee. 1t
would throw the great lake trade in
coal and other articles, which has been
formerly handled at Fond du Lac and
Sheboygan, to this city, and as this
city is the nearest point to Chicago
which has any harbor to speak of, it
would greatly increase the shipping
business of the city.
In speaking of the matter some time
ago, Mr.. Truax, the local agent for the
Northwestern line, stated that Kenosha
was the only logical point along the
west side CT the lake for the use as a
transfer point. Lake and land rates
vary and the former are usually smaller
than the latter. For this reason it is a
great item for the lake shippers to
transfer their freights to the railroad at
a point as near the destination as pos
sible, and the construction of new and
better harbor at Kenosha makes this
point an ideal place for the transfer.
W. Fl. Schott is also said to be in the
ring for the purpose of securing such a
franchise. When Mr. Schott was seen
a few days ago he stated that it was
not possible for him at that time to say
anything for publication. The con-
struction of car ferry across the lake
at this point would open to Kenosha
shippers an entirely new territory, and
whether it is backed by the railroad
company or by private enterprise,
every effort should be made to encour-
age such an action.

FOR A TANDEM RACE.
Kenosna Riders want Another Chance TO
Defeat the Racine Teams.

On account of the accidents which
marked the recent tandem race held in
this city on Decoration Day the tandem
riders of this city are anxious to arrange
another race with the Racine riders.
IN the race Tuesday several of the best
Kenoshe riders were not permitted to
make the course on account of accidents
and these men are now declaring that
they can beat any tandem team that
ever came over the pike. In this state
ment they are backed by many local
wheel enthusiasts and this morning
Fred Parkhill on behalf of the Kenosha
riders made the following proposition
to the Racine riders. He will arrange
a race to be pulled off with the sanction
of the L. A. w. in this city in the near
future. Instead of the prizes usually
offered each city Will be asked to place
a prize OF $3.50 in merchandise. The
race will be open to Racine and Keno
sha riders only and each city is to enter
two tandem teams and one triplet
team. The course of the race as we'll
as the time of holding it to be arranged
at conference of the riders who will
take part. As to whom will compose
the teams from this city if the offer is
accepted by the Racine riders is not as
yet determined but Mr.. Parkhill is sure
that the Kenosha team which he will
select can beat any two teams which
can be found in Racine. It the propo
sition is accepted by the Racine men
the race will probably be arranged to
be run in connection with road race
on the Fourth of July which is now
being planned. The people Of this city
would be glad to see the Racine riders
accept the challenge and the Kenosha
riders, who ever they may be, are
promised the loyal support of the entire
town.

The prospect that the Y. M. G. A.
building will be erected during the
present year is very bright. The officers
have fixed the amount of money to be
raised at 5000 and nearly ST., 900 of
this amount has now been subscribed.
Among the large subscriptions recently
received is one from G. W. Allen for
FIVE hundred dollars. Many other
smaller ones have also been received in
the past few days. In speaking of the
building this morning Mr.. Buckmaster
stated that the money necessary for the
construction of the building would all
be ready by the first of July and the
building will be started at that time.
The plans have now been accepted as
ready for the contractors but the
officials of the Association according to
the pledges made to subscribers to the
fund will not let the contracts until
every cent of the $4,000 has been
subscribed. According to the new
plans the building will be the finest
association building in the state outside
of Milwaukee.
