HONORS ARE GIVEN.
Names of Honor Pupils Announced
At the High School tuesday
Afternoon.
COUNTRY PUPILS IN THE LEAD

Miss Amy Shearer is Awarded the valedic-
tory While Miss Elga shearer will De-
liver the Salutatorv-Miss Addie Barter
and Frank Rowbottom Also win Honors
Arthur Holderness and Fred Petit Chosen
By the Glass as Commencement Speakers
Tuesday was great day at the High
school, as it was the time set for the
| announcement of the honors as re-
ce1ved by the members OF the Senior
class. For the past two weeks the
members of the class have been in
suspense, and while the announcement
Tuesday came as a disappointment to
many, of course 1t relieved the tension
The Commencement of the High
School will be held on June % and the
usual old fashioned program will be
carried out. The speakers who will
take part have been selected. OF this
number four are selected on account of
their standing in the school during the
four years of high school work. The
other two speakers who will complete
the program have been honored by the
class. The contest for honors in the
school during the past year has been a
pretty one and the winners and the
losers were exceedingly close together.
Miss Amy Shearer has made the high
est grades of any member of her class
during the four years course and she
has been assigned the honor of deliver
ing the valedictory. The sa1utatory
will be delivered by Miss E1ga Shearer
who stood second in the class. Other
speakers selected on account of their
standing in class work were Miss
Addie Barter and Frank Rowbotton.
who were third and fourth respectively.
The speakers selected by the class
were Fred Petit and Arthur Holder
ness. The former will deliver the
class history and prophecy, while the
latter will be the class orator.
In looking at the names of the honor
winners this year, it will be noticed
that the hcuors have largely been won
by pupils living in the country who
came to the High school after com
p1eting the course in the country
schools. For some years past the stu
dents coming in from the country
schools have shown decided tendency
toward leading the classes and this
fact speaks exceedingly we'll for the
country schools.
The students have already begun to
prepare for the Commencement exer-
cises, and now that the list of speak
ers have been announced plans for
Commencement will be the ruling feat
ure of the school work. A large num-
Der of extra features will be added to
the exercises this year. The century
class is one of the largest in the his
tory of the Kenosha schools and they
promise some interesting times before
they lay aside the pleasures and duties
of scholastic work.

Expansion.

What is the real meaning of expan-
sion? More markets, more demand for
the products of the earth and the fac
tory, more work, more money, and
greater general contentmentI It may
be an expansing of local business; or
the reaching out of State or section
as now in the South, for trade-beyond
it's own boundaries; or, it may mean
the enlargement of Empire for pur-
poses of trade and commerce, or, for
the protection and benefit of the peo-
pies of annexed territories. Even the
missionary work of the churches in
Africa, in the islands of the sea is a
sort of national expansion; savages
become civilized and Immediately they
order our p1ows, our reapers, our wool
en- and cotton goods, Our printing
presses and our locomotives. 1t is the
natural law of the enforcement of the
fit. Where is the loyal American who
is not an expansionist?

THE scarcity of American merchant
vessels was only too pa1pable during
our war with Spain. But the Boer
trouble has intensified it by absorbing
British transatlantic liners, delaying
our commerce and hindering the quick
transportation of our foreign mails.
We should be as independent on the
sea as we are on land. We can beat
the world in manufacturing and land
transportation, but we lack the facili-
ties for transporting our goods by sea
to foreign buyers.

Enthusiastic Reports Are Received From
All Parts of the City.

The Republican City Committee held
a special meeting last evening at the
Office Of Attorney A. E. Buckmaster to
take some action in regard to the resig-
nation of G. A. Yu1e, as chairman of
the committee. The resignation of
Mr.. Yu1e was accepted and d. ]. Harff
was unanimously elected to fill the
vacancy. C. E. Dewey was elected
secretary of the committee and A. E.
Buckmaster will handle the funds dur
ing the campaign. Every ward in the
city was represented at the meeting
and the reports from the ward con1it-
tees were very encouraging. The re
ports show that the North side, which
has always been III the Democratic
column, is wavering and some even
declare that it will be in the Republican
column when the votes are counted.
Other parts Of the city report great
progress in the campaign. The people
are aroused and are ready TO go to the
polls and declare for the best men and
these men are to be found on the Re
publican ticket

IF THERE was ever time in the
history of the city when the people
should elect a representative candi-
date to the office of Mayor of the city
it is this year. During the next few
months the city of Kenosha will make
history-the greatest crowds that were
ever gathered in the city will be here.
The monument and Memorial library
will be dedicated, and in the fall the
old heroes of the First Wisconsin
Cavalry will come to Kenosha for
their annual reunion. In all these
ceremonies the head of the municipal
ity will be called on to take an import
ant part. For this reason Peter Fisher
is an ideal candidate. He is an orator
of marked ability, and can be de-
pended upon to represent the city
in a dignifed way, and in a way
that will attract the attention of
the State to Kenosha and Kenosha's
Mayor. Mr. Fisher has an especial
interest in the dedication Of the sol
dier's monument for he is one of the
men who wears the badge of the Grand
Army. AS defender of the country
he has an honorable record and as
defender of the rights of the people of
the city he will not be found lacking.
What the people of Kenosha want is
representative man to stand at the
head of the affairs of the city during
the next year. A vote for Peter Fisher
means vote for man eninent1y
qualified fer this purpose.

street was vacated the property revert

a secondary question.
