A STRIKE by the high school students,
and about fifty children between ten
and fifteen years old arrested while
participating in prize fight exhibition,
are two rather amazing instances fur
nished by one city of the force of ex-
ample. Fanatic strikes with riot
methods, and prize fights made respect
able by the sanction of soca11ed good
society, are we'll calculated to breed
anything but law abiding and order
loving people.

The Philippine Policy Taking Shape.


The appointment of Judge Taft to
head the commission for the establish
ment of civil government in the Phil
ippines throws a great deal of light on
a short bill introduced about the mid
die of January by Senator Spooner.
This measure, which has not yet been
taken up, but which is considered
almost certain to become law, provides;
That when all instruction against
the sovereignty and authority Of the
United States in the Philippine islands
shall have been completely suppressed
by the military and naval forces of the
United States, all military, civil and
judicial powers necessary to govern
the said islands shall, until otherwise
provided by congress, be vested in
such persons and shall be exercised in
such manner as the president of the
United States shall direct for maintain
ing and protecting the inhabitants of
said islands in the free enjoyment of
their liberty, property and religion.
1t was clear enough that the enact
ment of this bill would mean the post
ponement of any further legislation
for the Philippines during this session.
It's effect would be to continue in the
hands of the president the powers
which he derives from his posi-
ton as J.1mander in chief of the army.
It is under this wat power that
he has provided and maintained mill
tary and civil government in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, APP
pointed the first Philippine commission
and is appointing the second. It is
his duty, under this power, to provide
either military or civil government in
all territories acquired by war or treaty,
until congress acts. He could there
fore go on with the establishment of
civil government without the Spooner
bill.
But as war powers are of an extra
ordinary nature the measure appears
to be wise and proper. It amounts to
a dec1arationson the part of congress
that the president is to have free hand
laC1l the S1LudIlOu WARRANTS dCl1Ou ny
congress itself. It can interfere at
any time, but the bill makes it clear
that it does not intend to interfere un-
til it can act with better knowledge OF
the conditions than it now possesses.
It is the only course to pursue in re1a.
ton to islands so distant, so widely
differing from one another, and SO dis
turbed by war and successive insured
tions. A firm, strong hand at the helm
for a year or two will avoid the
rocks and shoals which would wrecl
everything if counse1s wereSdivided
as they will always be in congress. I
was plainly the purpose of thesbil1 t.
give to the commission, whose appoint
ment was then contemplated, as com
p1ete assurance as possible that they
would have ample time to accomplish
something. Were there not ever,

A GREAT SUCCESS.
kenOsha Kemper Hall Association
Gives an Elaborate Production of
"Sunset" by ]. K. Jerome.
TO FOUND A SCHOLARSHIP.

Funds Received From the Entertainment
VIII Go Towards Keeping Day Scholar
in Kemper Hall-rhe Players Score a
Distinct Hit, Miss Butler Being an Es
pec1al Favor1te-An Informal Dance Fol-
lowed the Production.
The production of "Sunset'' by the
Kemper Hall Association Thursday
evening was unqualifed1y successful
from pecuniary and an artistic stand
point. It's not too much to say that
in many respects the performance was
the best ever given by amateurs in this
city. There was more finish than is
generally shown in such performances,
and more careful study along correctly
preconceived ideas of the characters.
By the kindness of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathan Allen the play was produced
on a stage extemporized in their hand
some ball room. Great care had been
taken to produce pretty stage effects
as there was only one act, and every
effort was made to present an attract
i've setting to the audience.
The scene is laid in the country, in
the home of an English gentleman.
Lois and Joan, two half sisters, are in
love with the same man who is en-
gagged to the former and who meets the
latter on the continent and makes love
to her without knowing her relations
to his fancee. He has made Joan be-
heve that he did not really love his
bethrothed. On Joan's return the two
girls exchange condolences without re-
vealing the names of their lovers.
Lawrince Leigh, the young man, comes
to visit his fancee, meets Joan and is
brought face to face with his dup1icity.
Lois gives him up for Joan's sake, and
tells him that she is going to marry
Azariah Dodd, a young country suffer,
thus leaving him free to engage him
self to her sister.
The two sisters were we'll represented
by Miss Butler and Miss Anna Kim
ball. In the climax of the plot Miss
Butler was especially strong and
showed a wonderful reserve force, her
audience sympathising with her in the
changes of emotion. Miss Edith Brown
was typical spinster of the English
family, and very anxious to secure a
happy ending to her matchmaking for
Lois and Azariah Dodd. Howard
Robinson, Keck Wheeler and Griffin
Mcclellan played their parts admir-
ably.
The Association will clear fully
sixty dollars from the performance,
and this money will be used to pay the
expenses of day pupil at Kemper
Hall, who will be entered as the scho1-
ar of the local association.
After the performance a dance fol-
lowed for which many of the audience
remained. The Racine Mandolin Or
chestra played several selections dur
ing the play and for the dancers.
There is rumor that the play will be
repeated at Kemper Hall for the pleas
ure of the girls who were unable to
attend the performance Thursday
evening.

Sheriff Tlmme Takes Possession of the
Business of Peter Christensen.


Business of Peter Christensen.
Peter Christensen, the Wisconsin
street livery man, is having little
financial trouble and yesterday after
noon Sheriff Timme took charge of
the business in order to secure a chat
tel mortgage for the sum of 5000, held
by John F'renz. The holder of the
mortgage was formerly the owner of
the stable but at the time of the sale
the present owner gave Frenz chat
tel mortgage covering the horses and
vehicles.
A short time ago Christensen remov-
ed some of the stock from the stable to
Racine and an action to forec1ose the
mortgage was at once started and the
sheriff took charge yesterday afternoon
The stable will not be closed, as the
sheriff has placed H. P. Hulegard in
charge. It is thought that the matter
will be settled between the men and
the business will be transferred to Mr..
Christensen again in a few days.

GOES TO CHICAGO.
Reginald Hunt Resigns His Position as
Director of St Matthews Choir.


Director of ST Matthews Choir.
Reginald Hunt, who has been in
charge of the choir of ST. Matthews
church for the past year, has resigned
his position, and in the next week will
go to Chicag to take position IN
Steinway Hail. Mr.. Hunt will close
his connection with the choir on next
Sunday and as yet the music commit
tee has not selected his successor. The
removal of Mr.. Hunt to Chicago will
be a great loss to the musical circles OF
the city. Since he has been in Kenosha
he has taken a great interest in the
development of love for the best
things in music and on this account
he has managed to bring several great
musicians to the city. His work for
the choir of St. Matthews church has
also been excellent, and his successor
will find a splendid chorus of well
trained voices. He will be greatly
missed by the people of St. Matthew's,
who fully appreciate his courteous, I'M
firing and effectua1 efforts to serve the
church in his capacity.
