Some one behind me used my hat in an

''The fight was run in most eXtraor-

Issue Stamps in Book i.

The acknowledgement has secured
a decision from the officials of the
treasury department under which it
will be possible to carry out the plan of
issuing postage stamps inclosed in a
substantial book cover. IT is proposed
by the postoffice department to arrange
twelve two-cent stamps in covers, with
oiled or other prepared paper between
them that will prevent adhesion, and
to dispose of them for Is cents. 1t is
estimated that the one cent to cover
the cost of the cover will net to the
government profit of about So for
each 1000 sold. Should one-fourth of
the two-cent stamps annually sold be
disposed of in book form, it would
bring the government about $23O,OOO
Work upon the covers will soon be
ordered, but the acknowledgement
cannot predict when the postage stamps
in the new form will be placed on sale.

FOUND DEA IN BED
Mrs. Margaret Mccormick Dies Under
Peculiar Circumstances Thursday
Evening Near Brighton.
CORONER WILL INVESTIGATE

The Lady Had Been Perfectly Well During
the Day and Had Retired TO Her Room
EARLY in the Evening Was One of the
Early Settlers of the Town of Brighton
and Her Sudden Death has Caused Much
sorrow-Coroner Holds an Inquest.
Coroner Krichbaum was called to the
town of Brighton last evening to in
vestigate the death of Mrs. Margaret
McCormic, who was found dead in bed
at her home in the town of Brighton,
near the village of Kansasvil1e, shortly
after 9 o'clock last evening.
This morning a telephone message
the details of the case and little is
known of the circumstances surround
ing the sudden death.
This morning telephone message
to the NEWS from Union Grove an
nounces that the death of Mrs. Nc
Cormick has caused a great deal of
sorrow i'll the western part of the
county. She was widow of the late
Michael Mccormick and was one of
the oldest and best known residents of
the town of Brighton. Last evening
she was in usual health and spirits and
retired to her room at the usual hour.
A short time later members of the
family were awakened by sounds COM
ing from her room and her son hurried
to her bedside, but the lady was dead
when he arrived.
The circumstances of the death were
so peculiar that a messenger was at
once sent to Union Grove to notify the
county coroner in this city. The
Union Grove people seem to think
death resulted from heart disease.
Coroner Krichbaum left on the early
train this morning for Union Grove,
but it is not expected that he will
reach home until late tonight. In the
meantime no information can be Sc
cured in regard to the case.
The deceased was about 20 years OF
age. She was born in Ireland, but
came to this country in the early 4o's.
With her husband she located in Brigh-
ton in 1845 and since that time she has
made her home there.

A writer in the January number of
the magazine Education" asksTsone
pertinent questions as to "the consent
of the governed which ought to make
the promu1gators of resonant periods,
vague distractions and high sounding
phrases on that much abused sent1-
ment stand still and think. At least,
if they are incapable, it ought to bring
others, not so incapicitated, who have
taken their utterances in good part, to
an appreciation of their errors. 1t has
been urged by the anti-expansionist
that the administration at Washington
and all others who are supporting 1T
by their favor are subverting our form
of government in so far as they at
tempt to administer the Philippines
without the consent of all the inhab-
itants of those islands. The writer in
Education discusses the meaning of
the phrase "consent of the governed
as it appears in the light of our history.
He says that in 10 the population OF
the thirteen colonies, now the Atlantic
States, was probably about 30,00O,OOO.
Of these 100000 were negro slaves,
/ 10000 were of the female sex and
third of the remainder were minors.
Besides these there we're the several
hundred thousand Indian and white
inhabitants of the Western wilds.
How many of these were questioned as
to the new form of government? How
many gave their consent? Were the
negroes canvassed and their wishes
considered? Did the Indians give
their consent to a government that
meant to them the loss of their hunt
inc grounds and would finally crowd
them even to the brink of the Western
ocean? How many of the 100000 fe-
males of that time were consulted in
the matter? How many of the young
men between the ages of IS and 21,
who were incomparab1y more intel1i
gent than are the Orienta1s of the
Philippines, were given opportunity
either to give or withhold their consent
in this matter? There were fourth,
third, possibly a half of the mature
white male population who were oppos-
ed to the revolution, to severing con-
nection with the mother country, and to
the constitution. To what extent did
the government derive it's authority
from their consent? What proportion
of the white population at the time of
the ratification were legal voters? In
conclusion the writer in Education lays
stress upon the fact of minority rule.
On the whole he makes it appear that
iect to limitations if Our own history is
any indication.

THE waters have always been the

Nonarch was invading Holland and
threatened even Amsterdam, the re-

Gheir capital city. Now it is reported
that they are going to call upon their
old ally for quite another purpose. The

BETsEY LOSES MONEY.
Judge Fish Reduces the Claim of Betsey
woodward Against Collier Estate.

After hearing evidence for two days
Judge Fish yesterday finally made an
end to the litigation between Betsey
Woodward and the estate of Richard
Collier, deceased, and as a result OF the
outcome of the trial it is evident that
Miss Woodward was loser by the ap-
peal of the case from the county to the
Circuit Court. The case has been in
the courts for some time and the peo-
pie will be glad to know that some
settlement has been reached.
Miss Woodward made claim
against the estate for services rendered
as housekeeper, and she also alleged
that the estate was indebted to her on
account of several notes which she
held against Collier at the time of his
death. When the case was tried in the
County Cont the woman was allowed
the sum of 81, $1,000. This allowance
was not satisfactory to either the
woman or the administrator of the es-
tate and the latter carried the case to
the Circuit Court. AS a result of the
decision of Judge Fish one of the notes
held by Miss Woodward was not recog-
nized and she was allowed about $500
on the other note. She was also al
lowed about $500 in lieu of all claims
for services against the estate. The
entire amount allowed the woman by
Judge Fish amounted to a little over
ST., 100, or $500 less than she had been
allowed by Judge Slosson. 1t is
thought that an effort will be made to
appeal the case.

The Water Controversy.


RECENT controversies, aroused by
certain pranks on the part of the city
ia its capacity as owner and operator
af the city water works, have revived
xgze old question of municipal owner
skip. The only line in which the city
of Eenosha has exercised ownership of
pu3lic plants is in that of the water
supply. From the report of the Com
mission it would appear that that in
vcstment on the part of the city was
paying one. However, certain incon-
veuieuces have arisen to disturb the
peace of mind of the tax payer that
make the question debatable, whether
or not the citizens, in their individual
capacity, are any the better for the
new arrangement.
Ia the first place there is the mooted
question of water tax. Like all other
taxes it is disproportionate. This is
5bccause ii is a tax rather than fee
paid for goods received at a definite
price and after an established standard
of measurement When the gas and
electric light companies supply a con-
SINNER with light or fuel they sell by
actual measurement. In all matters
concerning the water plant and water
supply the city is a business corpora
1iou. just as the gas and electric light
companies, and should conduct it's bus
aness on a uniform system as other
business is conducted. 1t is usually
urged that to put a meter in every
house would be a severe imposition on
Ifaose who are unable to stand the cost.
It-seems that good business supervision
ought to be able to obyiate this diff
Guilty. According to the statements of
taose in authority, it is the class of
79eople on whom the need of putting in
sneEers would be most burdensome who
arc now using the bulk of the water
and paying the least taxes. It has
been stated that there are families
paying SIS year water tax who are
using S25 worth of water. At this rate
it would pay the city itself to supply
the required meter and save the pres
ent prohigate waste.
Another objection to the city's
method of operating it's water plant is
that aimed at enforced payment for
water connections on unused property.
1t certainly requires very little man
euYering to avoid this objection. Such
connections are made, and tax levied
III payment, for the nominal purpose of
avoiding breaking into streets that are
70 be paved. This pretext is silly on
tEae face of it and absolutely ridiculous
Ia consideration of the fact that those
streets are bound to be torn UP for
some purpose or another. 1t looks like
Inconsistency for the management of
the water works to bubble about over
f3ardening the people by requiring me-
tets, while compelling them to prac-
tjcally bury thirty or forty dollars in
the ditch to prevent tearing up the
pavement. 1t is manifest1y unjust,
especially when the city turns right
around and gives the first corporation
to ask for it the privilege of digging
z1p the protected road.
T'hese two objections to the city con-
trol, as it exists in Kenosha, are good,
bat could be avoided. They represent
defects that are easily remedied.
There is an injustice in each case and
cue would neutralize the other if good
and reasonable claims were needed.
