Congressman Cooper Announces That
the BreakWater Will Be Length
ened Next Year.
ENGINEERS ARE NOW PLANNING.
Breakwaters at Both Racine and Kenosha
Will Be Extended 100 Feet, and This
will Make the Harbors Perfect.

The Kenosha harbor will receive
more money from the government for
it's Improvement. This is the an
nouncement made by Congressman
Cooper on his return to Racine Tues
day evening. For some time 1t has
been evident that the Kenosha break
water was too short to fulfill the
purposes for which it was built and
several attempts have been made by
the Kenosha men interested IN the
harbor to have some action taken to
1engthen the breakwater. In the past
these requests have failed to receive
any definite response from Congress
man Cooper, but he now announces
that he is in a position to assure the
city another appropriation for the
completion of the work. Engineers are
now at work on plans for the proposed
additions to the breakwater and these
estimates and plans will be presented
to congress at the next session. In
speaking of the matter Congressman
Cooper said:
"The engineers and government in
SpeCtOfS nave DOen DIT WOIk CAPClA-
menting as to what improvements are
necessary at the mouth of the har bors
Of Racine, Kenosha, Waukegan and
Sheboygan. The engineers have not
yet officially reported, but believe the
recommendation will be made for the
extending of the breakwater to the
northwest about 100 feet at Racine and
Kenosha. If such recommendations
are made, I shall endeavor to have the
Legislature incorporate it in the next
harbor bill. Friends at Racine and
Kenosha have written me strongly urg-
ing the extension of the breakwater
and will do all in my power to remedy
the defect which now exists"
With these improvements completed
the KenOsha and Racine harbors will
be ali that could be desired. All the
trouble of the waves beating into the
basin of the harbor will have been
overcome and the harbors will be fitted
for use as harbors of refuge.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.
Canvassers Find That Many Blank Ballots
Were Cast in the Judicial Election.

The Board of Canvassers completed
the canvass of the KenOsha county
vote in the recent judicial election
this morning, and while the results are
not in any way changed the majorlt1es
in every case have been reduced.
Joshua Eric Dodge, the candidate
for the Judge of the Supreme Court,
received a total vote in the county of
2O31, while blank, his only opponent,
won him a close race and received 1892
votes.
In the race for the Circuit Judgeship
the successful candidate, Mr.. Belden,
received a total of 2674 votes. John B.
Simmons received only 951 votes in the
county and there were 482 blank bal
lots,
In the race for the County Judgeship
the blank ballots were also numerous
and had they been voted they were
more than sufficient to change the re-
suit of the election. Judge S1osson
received 1900 votes in the county and
Justice Slater was given 1924, while
703 blank ballots were cast. Mr.. S1os-
sons official plurality was 176. The
official plurality of Judge Belden was
1923.

JUDGING from reports it would seem
that there is some probability that the
United States government Will give
Aguina1do his liberty as soon as he
can be persuaded to summon his
armed followers to lay down their
arms. Of course it is not always pos
sib1e to depend strictly upon report,
nor is it likely that the true merits of
the situation are wholly understood at
this distance. One can scarcely credit
the idea that the United States is
meditating any course of action rela-
tive to Aguina1do that will tend to
neutra1ize the great work of Gen.
Funston. There can be no doubt
that upon Aguin aldo rests the respon-
sibi1ity for the hosti1ities that have
cost both American and Taga1 blood.
There can be no doubt that Agulnaldo
has been tried and found want1ng;
that he has already proved himself un-
fettered by scrup1es and unbound by
obligations, of whatsoever making.
His promises are of as little worth as
those of the proverbia1 Oriental, and
his honor does not extend to such rela-
tons. His negotiations with Spain
stand as an evidence of his fidelity and
his previous treatment of the U. S..
manifests the extent of his good will.
Should he be allowed his liberty moth
ing seems more certain than that he
would treat hissivows sand promises
lightly and betake himself with the
greatest speed possible to the bosom of
his insurgent family. 1t is not prob
able that he could greatly change the
course Of events, nor s1ong postpone
the end which the United States hopes
to hasten by his seizure, but it would
certainly reflect upon the gumption OF
this government if they should treat
the insurgent leader with any less Sc
verify than his career of crime and
perfdy warrants, or permit themselves
to be de1uded by his fair promises.

TO GIVE PARK CONCERTS.
simmons Band will Be Out in Week With
New Uniforms

z. G. Simmons has presented the
Simmons band with new set of uni
forms and the band is preparing to
make its appearance within the next
week. The band has been practicing
during the winter months and 1t has
been brought up to state of perfec-
ton rarely reached by band IN ke-
nosha. The manager is planning to
give a series of park concerts during
the coming summer months and the
first concert will be given within the
next three weeks. 1t is the plan to
give concerts both at Eiche1man park
and at the North Side park. The peo-
pie of the city will probably be asked
to make contributions to provide for
the expenses of the concerts.

CAME TO BLOWS.
Street Commissioner Hermann Asks the
Arrest of charles Re1nardy.
FRANK G. CULLEY.

Arrest of Charles Reinardy.
Too much politics was the cause of a
fight between Street Commissioned
Barney Hermann and the late Repub-
1ican candidate for assessor, Charles
Reinardy, Thursday evening and as
result of the fistic contest Hermann
has caused a warrant to be issued
charging the opponent with assault
and battery AS yet Reinardy has not
told his side of the story, but according
to Hermann the two men met at the
corner near the Giles store on Maple
street and Reinardy opined as how
Herrmann's work as street commits
sioner was the cause of the Republican
victory inathe fifth ward. Hermann
being loyal Democrat didn't like the
soft impeachment and some words were
soon flying fast and thick between the
two men.
Words were not sufficient to express
all that was to be said, and after a
little talk Hermann alleges that
Reinardy landed heavily on his mouth,
driving him to the ground. At this
time, when Reinardy was having the
better of the argument, Bernard Nc
Giveru arrived and put an end 70 the
fight.
Reinardy had not been arrested up
to the time of our going to press, but
the case will probably come up IN
Justice S1ater's court late this after
noon. The friends of Reinardy claim
that the assault was wholly just1fiable
and that Reinardy acted only in self
denfense.

OVER THE BREAKWATER.
Former Editor Frank c. Culley Makes a
Few suggestions

After having read the statement in
your paper last evening that Hon. Z.
G.. Simmons had decided to erect
building here in Kenosha for an emer-
gency hospital, the thought occurred
to me that the band which favored him
with that dead March in Saul" Tor
some other old rag-time) the night OF
election might now hold picnic down
on the lake front some evening IN the
near future, latter the people in that
vicinity had gone to seek repose) and
indulge in kicking each other over the
break-water. At least, they ought now
take time in which to reflect on their
insignificant conduct on the occasion
referred to, and pray that they may
live to enjoy the blessings that may
come to them in case that hospital is
built and they be taken there to par
take of it's great benefits. They might,
also, make a promise to themselves to
never again so bemean themselves as
they did last Tuesday night. If they
will do these things-i. e. kick them
selves over the breakwater, and when
CnGy get NOME, duu AnlO d VI sun u
clothes, pledge themselves never again
to make such fools of themselves,
thereby disgracing the city they live
in, perhaps it may be forgiven them,
if it is not forgotten.
Now, for another thought. And this
was suggested to me by several prom1-
nent business men last evening. Ii
Mr.. Simmons does favor the city by
the erection of such an edifce-such a
public necessity-1et the prominent
business men, and citizens generally,
unite in a petition to him to honor the
institute with his own name, and call
it 'sThe z. G. Simmons Emergency
Hospital"
He has favored the city already far
beyond it's just deserts, when some
thinks are taken into consideration. If
left to himself he will no doubt give to
the hospital some other name than his
own. He may already have IN view
some other name; but if not positively
settled upon, it is more than probable
that he would listen to such petition
and feel the request as one of honor,
coming from his neighbors and bust
ness associates.

women are a shade better than the
men, and that if they were allowed to
vote they would exercise that privilege
not only with great Judgment, but
with great good to all concerned. It's
from a purely unselfsh standpoint
that the opposition arises among men
to the bestowa1 of the elective fran
chise upon the fair sex.
there are certain unpleasant things
associated with the exercise of the
privilege Of suffrage before it is given
her, she will discover it later and then
there will be trouble. 1t is for this
reason that we would advise the gen
tlemen at Madison to go slow. Let
them carefully represent the whole
gamut of duties and responsibilities
and all the bothersome things incurred
by the privilege of being voting c1t1-
zen. Let them understand the great
pleasure in attending caucus, for in
stance, and serving on the jury; OF be-
ing sent delegate to conventions and
attending political jamberies all over
the county, and travelling all night in
wagon or a freight train and putting
up in country hotel quarters; OF march
ing in political professions, going to
political speeches, electioneering and
being e1ectioneered, etc. Then if the
sentiment of the women is for suf-
frage, let them have it. But don't,
gentlemen, take that responsibility
upon yourselves.

BROUGHT HOME TO REST.
Remains of the Late Lucas E. Merrill Laid
to Rest in the City Cemetery Today.

Remains of the Late Lucas E. Merrill Laid
to Rest in the City Cemetery Today.
The remains of Lucas E. Merrill,
oneNof the we1l-known early pioneer
settlers of this city and county, were
laid TO rest this forenoon in the Merrill
family plat at the city cemetery.
Death claimed the wel1-known pio-
neer on last Wednesday afternoon,
when he fell asleep at his home in
Minneapolis, MINI. No report of the
death of Mr.. Merrill had been received
in this city, and for this reason the
ceremonies attending the interment
of the remains were very simple.
The deceased will be remembered by
many of the early settlers of Kenosha.
Born in Ohio, he came to Southport in
the early days and spent much of his
life here. Thirty years ago Mr.. Mer-
ri11 removed to Chicago, where he en-
gagged in the lumber business for
severa years, and was very successtul
Later he removed to Minneapolis
where his death occurred. A widow
and one son, Edward Merrill, Oh
Winnetka, survive him. The deceased
is also survived by two brothers, John
W. and J. B. Merrill, both of Kansas
City. Mrs. O, G. King and Mrs. Geo
S. Baldwin, of Kenosha, are cousins Of
the deceased.

If Assem- b1yman Evans has his way
the constitution of the State will be so
amended as to remove the present re-
strictions against the women voting.
Mr.. Evans makes a strong case for the
intellectually of woman and her right
to the ballot. AS a result of Mr..
Evans plea the Assembly advanced
his bill to a third reading. AS to do
otherwise would seem to fail to endorse
all the complimentary remarks of Mr..
Evans anent lovely woman, it was not
to be expected that so gallant an ag-
gregation of gentlemen as our State
Assembly would do else than as they
did.
But what about the women? Before
those we'll meaning gentlemen at Mad
ison go to voting privileges to the
women that bring with them arduous
and onerous duties, they should con-
suit fully and freely with their better
halves. The average woman is more a
stick1er for duty, especially when of an
optional nature, than the average
man. To bestow upon her the "privi-
1ege'' of voting would be equivalent to
imposing upon her the "duty'' of vot-
ing. Now the women as usual thing
are not inclined to take kindly to I'M
pleasant duties in the disguise OF
pleasant privileges, and, moreover
they would a great deal rather be able
to lay up ali the undesirable political
conditions to the fact that they are not
'sa11owed'' to vote than to the fact that
they did not choose to go out to the
polls.
All men, or nearly all, are free K
admit that they would be pleased t.
have the women vote, as far as they
are concerned. 1t is generally conced
ed by the descendants Of the first mar
who fell by woman's hand, that thu

The fate of the LaFo1lette primary
election system in the state OF Wlscon-
sin is sealed, for the present at least
The action of the opposition IN the
LEGISLATURE Friday afternoon proves
beyond a doubt that the sentiment
against the bill is sufficiently strong
and sufficiently aggressive to renoer
abortive ali efforts to rush a primary
election bill through the senate. by
summoning the Miller bill from the
committee the opposition has not only
nroved its dominancei in the senate, but
# has countered the tactics OF the
friends of the measure and demol1sned
all their plans. The chances for de-
lay beyond the middle Of next week
vanished with the report of the Miller
bill. Moreover, the moral effect OF the
very apparent strength of the oppos1-
ton in the senate will initiate against
the designs of the friends OF the
Stevens bill.
With the fact quite well established
that the senate is in control Of the Sit
nation on the vexed question and that
both the primary election bill OF Mr.
Stevens and the Miller bill will be
killed when brought up in the senate
there is occasion to conjecture as to
the charactar of the legislation that
will ultimately pass. The factions IN
the Legislature, and especially in the
upper branch, are so Numerically OPP
posed and so uncompromising in their
attitude that it is not probable that
bill at all resembling either OF the
primary election bills as yet presented
will ever pass both houses. The oppo-
sition that has manifested itself in the
senate particularly, to the sweeping
character of any bill to 'abo1ish eau
cuses and conventions" will no doubt
stand in che way of any such 1egisla-
ton. Nor is it much more likely that
the friends of the Stevens and Miller
measure will yield on the principal pro-
visions of these bills and lend their
support to any measure, emitting the
clause abo1ishing conventions and pro-
viding for primary election in counties
only.
In the meanwhile public opinion all
over the State has crysta1ized and is
we'll reflected by the Senate. There is
general opposition to the radical pro-
visions of both the bills thus far pre-
scented by the Governors immediate
friends. While the c1amor for some
remedy for the present condition of
primaries has not abated, there is
we'll defined disapprova1 of many of
the principles insisted on by the orig
ina1 La Toilette and Stevens factions,
and the tactics used IN promoting
these principles has so aroused the
latent opposition in the State that no
man with eyes and ears in his head
can be uncognizant of it. The most
probable outcome of the situation,
then, is the passage of primary cleo
ton law operating in counties. Such
a law would reasonably we'll test the
practicabi1ity and the remedial quail
ties of the primary election system
wherever it was tried and would not
ieopardize the whole State by upset
ting it's present system in the interests
of an extensive and radical expert
1nent.
