Miss Blanche HazetOn Reads an Inter.
esting Paper Before the Keno
Sha WOman's Club.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE PLAY.
The Club Meets for the First Time in It's
New Club Room in the Gilbert NJ.
Simmons Library.

The Woman's Club met for the first
time in it's new quarters Wednesday
afternoon. The home of the club is
now in the Simmons Library building,
where large and comforta bic accom-
mediation has been furnished it. The
assembly room is fitted with every
thing necessary to the comfort and
convenience of the club members, and
decorations of chrysanthemum added
to it's beauty.
After the routine business of the
club had been transacted, Miss Blanche
Haze1ton, the essayist of the after
noon, read a paper on "The Modern
Drama. Miss Haze1ton discussed the
prevalent fashion among actors, man
ayers and p1aywrights, of allowing the
scenic and spectacular features OF the
drama to detract from the literary ex-
ce11ence of the play and the intrinsic
worth of the work of the actor. The
essayist also dep1ored the decadence OF
the modern drama and the prevalence
of the dramatized novel. The success
of a novel does not necessarily imply
It's SuCCCSS as q pay oAN O+A EAA~N~N
are filled with mediocre adaptations of
the most successful novels of the day.
A good novel will not make a good
play by any means.
The essayist said further that the
stage has fallen below the high STAN
dard once maintained for it, but that
in the near future it will probably re-
gain it's prestige. The introduction of
the problem play" and of the non
sensica1 farce, has probably done
much to injure the drama of today.
But the future is bright, and it is
probable that within a short time the
reaction will have set in and the drama
be once more elevated to its true posi-
ton within the realm of truth and art.
Following the reading of the paper,
which was we'll received, came spirit
ed discussion, led by Miss Hurd. Inter
esting talks were given on the dramas
of Mexico, France and Italy, and the
question whether gorgeous costumes
and staging were really harmful to
the play itself was discussed.
Miss Lester added to the pleasure of
the afternoon with a description of
theatres in Mexico and Mrs. Rowe ard
Miss Balm discussed the theatres of
Rome and Paris.
After a social cup of tea the club
adjourned for another fortnight.

Kenosha BARRIERS Will Not Assist in
Passing a Law to License the
BARRIERS of Wisconsin.
M. E. MURRAY is IN KENOsHA
Agitator of the BARRIERS Protective Asso-
citation Comes to Town, But Fails to
Convince the Local Men.

The BARRIERS of Henosha Wednesday
evening placed themselves on record
as opposed to the passage of law for
the licensing of BARRIERS in Wisconsin
and they are the first batch of BARRIERS
in the state to show any opposition to
the law.
M. E. Murray, of ST. Paul, Secretary
of the Minnesota Board of Barber Ex-
aniners and editor of The Profession
al Barber, came to Kenosha Wednes-
day night and addressed quite a NUM-
Der of the BARRIERS on the proposed law
at the shop of William ]. DiCkhaut.
Mr.. Murray has been in most Of the
cities of the state and has managed to
get most of the BOSS BARRIERS in line in
support of the law, but his efforts with
the Kenosha BARRIERS were in vain, as
the ma iority of them were in favor of
leaving the conditions governing ton
serial artists as they are at present.
In his talk Mr.. Murray said that the
Minnesota law had more than met the
expectations of its friends. 1t had e1e-
waited the character of the barber bust
ness, had created an increase in profits
and wages and protected the public
against skin diseases and the spread
ing of the same, and what is known as
the BARRIERS itch was dwe1t upon and
the urgent necessity of cleanliness
strongly advanced. Similar results
could be obtained by the enactment of
law in this state. The Minnesota
law had been declared constitutional
by the Supreme Court of that state
and there was no reason for believing
that similar law would not be upheld
in this state.
After Mr.. Murray was through talk
ing the Kenosha BARRIERS discussed the
proposed law and it was evident that
they knew of more objections to the
law than the speaker could explain
away and they decided to take no
action.
An effort was made to reorganize
the BARRIERS Protective Association,
but this was a failure, as the Kenosha
BARRIERS have had all the experience
needed in this line.

The improving effects of seeing'our-
selves as others see us are marvellous.
The gift none of us possesses, and the
opportunity to realize the same results
through the medium of plain talk or
kindly advice is as rare as the gift. In
this respect the Y. M. C. A. is unusu-
ally fortunate. At the business mem
banquet the other evening Mr.. E. c..
Theirs volunteered some counsel and
information for the benefit of the
association that will leave no excuse
for that institutions falling into the
plumbers proverbia11y resulting from
the inability to see ourselves objecti-
fed. He expressed in plain language
the impression made upon the mind OF
the business man and general public
by the local Y. M. G. A. of former
years. It would not require unusual
keenness to discern from Mr. Theirs
remarks that the particular brand of
Y. M. C. A. that Kenosha had been
acquainted with was not the kind to
rejoice the inward sense or make the
heart glad.
The place and the occasion of Mr..
Theirs remarks were most suitable.
The citizens and the association, the
men who had contributed their money
for the building and the men who had
solicited it, expended it, and whose
duty it became to look after the invest
ment, were met face to face to talk
matters over. Mr.. Theirs, perhaps
unconscious1y, acted as spokesman for
his fe11ow-towsmen. He presented the
citizens position and explained to the
Y. M. G.. A. where the old association
had failed to enlist public sympathy
and public support. The result was a
mutual understanding that should go
far to promote harmonious and helpful
cooperation between the people of the
city and the Young Mems Christian
Association. This is the only way in
which the association can hope to
achieve success. It is the only way in
which it can hope to repay those who
have generously contributed and justly
feel that they are stockholders, with a
voice in the management of the asso-
citation. If the directors of the asso-
citation will act, as no doubt they will,
on the suggestion of Mr.. Theirs, they
will have already assured the success
of the institution for they will have
secured the active support of the public
by giving the public just what it
wants.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY, in his mes
sage to Congress, recommended a re-
duction of 100000 in the war rev.
enue tax. The Ways and Means Com
mittee, contrary to the recommended
ton of President Mckinley and Sec
rotary Hay, have raised the reduction
to SAC, 100000 by a reduction of 20 per
cent of the beer tax. And now the
WAYS and Means Committee are IN
pretty pickle. They are charged by
the people with trucking to the beer
trust and are cussed and cursed by the
brewers for not having knocked off the
whole thing. There is united senti-
ment (among the brewers) that in the
interests of justice the whole war tax
on beer should be removed. Manager
Wuesthoff and Col. Pabst are agreed
on that point perfectly, and, more
over, opine that they have some repre-
sentatives in Washington and that the
fight will go merri1y on until the war
tax on beer pays it's final tribute. No
doubt Messrs. WuesthoH and Pabst
will prove to be right. The beer in
dustry in this country is such puny
thing that it pains us all to see it
struggling so heroica1ly under an alb
normal burden of taxes.

Vigorous Measures.

For long time the favorite form Of
''make believe" Of little Faith was
that of getting married" For weeks
she was q bride, marching down an
imaginary aisle to the strains Of an
imaginary wedding march, to meet an
imaginary bridegroom. At last, her
mother becoming tired of it, she said:
Gath, don't you know that when
you get married you will have to leave
mer'
This was a rude awakening, and the
game stopped.
Not long afterward she came to ask
the difference between miss" and
''Mrs." Her mother said:
''Well, when you grow up and be
come young lady you will be Miss
Butler: but if some man should ask
you to marry him"
"T'd call a policeman! exclaimed
Faith, and her interest was at an end.
1t is probably safe to say, however,
that in a dozen years from now the
future ''man" need not seriously con-
slider the chances of arrest.

able so to do, from the vice and the
vicious that are in their midst. There
is too much truth in the lines. written
by Pope:
..Vice is a monster of such frightful mien,
That to be hated needs but tOsbe seen;
But sen to oft, familiar with its face,
We first endure, then pity, hen embrace.
It is fatally easy for community to
tolerate the presence of places of VICE
in indiscriminate profusion until they
become ignored by the city govern
ment altogether and allowed to flourish
and propagate without restraint, just
as by constant contact we may become
ob1ivious of a noxious odor or revolt
ing sights. Familiarity breeds con-
tempt even for danger. This fatal
familiarity, with its resulting indiffer-
ence to ba1efu1 influences that vitiate
our political and social institutions, is
one of the fruits of the "wide open"
policy. e4a4 81

Contractors Complete the Work on
the KenOsha HarbOr After Two
Years of Labor.
UNSURPASSED ON THE LAKES
Government Has Spent Sl55, 900 on the
Work and the Contractors Have
Made Money on the Job,

The last bit of.work to be done by
the United States government in the
kenosha harbor was completed this
afternoon, and the harbor is now ready
to be turned over to the COVE Anment
for inspection and acceptance. The
work as completed makes it second to
none on the lakes, and an equal of al
most any harbor on the great lakes.
AS harborso refuge it is success
and the largest vessel that sails the
lakes can find shelter. The work,
which was planned and executed under
the direction of Capt. J. G.. Warren, is
the greatest public work ever done in
this city.0The cost of the work as
estimated in round figures was $751;
900. The work started nearly two
years ago, and from fifty to hundred
men have Ibeen kept at work all the
time when it was possible for the men
to brave the fury of the sea.
The work has been under the inspee-
ton of Government Inspector J. L.
Ca11ard, who pronounces the work up
to the demand of the government in
every way.F-. The harbor is now far
superior tosthe one at Racine and is to
be fully as good as the harbor of
refuge at Milwaukee. 1t has always
been we'll sheltered, but the addition
of the long breakwater on the outside
has made it.abso1utely safe. Since the
completion of the0 breakwater the
harbor has .been entirely free of the
heavy seas which were so dangerous in
other times. It would be an almost
impossible task to figure up the
amount of material that Ihas been
used in constructing the different parts
of the cribs and piers and breakwater,
but several boats have.been employed
during the two seasons bringing the
material to Kenosha. Most of the
stone came from Green Bay, while the
lumber used was:1arge1y from Michi-
gan forests. The contractors seem
to be satisfied with the work, and it is
stated that all of them have made
money out of their work for the gov
eminent.
The full appropriation secured for
the Kenosha harbor by Congressman
Cooper was $4,000, and of this
mount about $35, 900 will remain unex-
pended. This money will be left to the
credit of the Kenosha harbor, and will
be used in maintaining the harbor as
harbor of refuge in years to come.

Two YEARS ago the churches of the
city took an unusually active part in
the city election. It is a consumma-
ton devout1y to be wished that the
churches and the people of the church
es would interest themselves more
deeply in politics, or at least in the
questions and considerations involved
in municipal campaign. When the
condition of the city government has
reached so low a strata as it has un-
fortunately reached in this city, it is
absolutely necessary that all the in
stitutions in the city looking to the
amelioration of general conditions
should actively interest themselves in
city elections. A cooperative move
ment among the churches of the city
in the interests of good city govern
r1ent would do much to arouse a senti-
ment that would tell strongly when
the votes are po11ed at the spring
election,

A Paradox.

Conditions in Milwaukee are almost
paradoxica1. While the metropolis of
Wisconsin is renowned as an orderly
CITY. it is a notorious fact that it is
''wide open'' city. Mayor Rose believes
in the "wide open" policy, and as re-
suit saloons, gambling places and all
sorts of vice resorts run on without
hinderance. Still, order is maintained
and the records show that crime is not
on the increase. The secret of this
strange and unusual condition of af-
fairs is manifest. Vice never failed to
engender crime where crime could live.
There can be no doubt that the 'wide
open" feature of Mi1waukee's city gov
eminent is breeding criminals fast
enough, even though the circumstan-
ces are unfavorab1e for the public
manifestation. If the police in Mil
waukee are so efficient that they crop
off the head of crime before it pro-
trudes above the surface, Milwaukee is
unusually fortunate in its police. 9th
ler cities are not so favored. If some of
the brood that ''wide open" Milwaukee
is breeding should stray into Kenosha
there is a strong probability that the
effect would be noticed at once on the
criminal record.
Still Milwaukee is lesson in what
an efficient police can do in spite of a
deficient city government. Not long
ago a man was struck on the head
with a club and killed on one of the
streets of Milwaukee. The crime was
speedily brought home. Some time
ago an old man was murdered on the

MRS. MAC LEAN THE FAVORITE
Kenosha Ladies Urging Her for National
President of the D. r.

Mrs. J. H. Kimba11 and Mrs. James
Cavanagh went to Milwaukee this
morning to attend the State conven-
ton of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. They will represent the
Kenosha chapter.
The Kenosha ladies will take an inn
portant part in the meeting, as they
will urge the Wisconsin delegates to
the National convention to work for
the election of Mrs. Donald MacI can,
of New York, for the office of National
president. Mrs. Mac Lean is we'll
known in Kenosha, being a niece of
Mrs. J. H. Kimba11. She has visited
in Kenosha several times, and has
many warm friends here.
The fight for the Presidency of the
National organization promises to be
the hardest in the history of the organ
ization. Many of the chapters are
anxious to have Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt accept the honor of the presi-
dency, but she has declined the offer,
and the old fight between Mrs. Daniel
Manning and Mrs. MacLean will be
re-opened.
