Influential KenOSha Citizens Are Co.
ing After the Northwestern
Railroad.
KENOSHA'S CLAIM is GREAT.
The Inconvenience and Dangers of Pres
emit system and Enormous Business of
Kenosha Demand Subway Station.

Give us a subway station. That is
the war cry of new movement that is
on foot to do away with some of the
Inconvenience and vicissitudes with
which the Kenosha patrons of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad have
had to contend. The movement is
under the active leadership of in
f1uentia1 parties who prefer not to have
their names mentioned. 1t will GER
tainly meet with the approval and en-
dorsement of all the people of Keno
sha. It is the result of a sentiment
that has been growing stronger with
the years and represents all the great
est interests of the city.
The present situation in Kenosha is
such that all passengers arriving or
departing on north bound trains are
compelled to await the trains on the
unshe1tered platform on the west side
of the track No matter what the
weather is those who get off the Chi
cago trains are compelled to stand in
rain, or snow, in the coolest and most
disagreeable weather until the long
train pulls out and they are able to
reach carriages and BUSES at the plat
form. Where iuvalids are brought on
these trains the necessity is nothing
short of barbarous. The baggage is
likewise exposed to the weather and
not a little damage is sustained in just
that way.
Formerly attempts have been made
to have cover put over the platform
but as all these efforts have proved
vain the people are now determined to
have the subway if such a thing is
possible. Sideways have been built
recently at various points along the
route to Chicago from Milwaukee.
| They. consist of a station on the Oppo-
site side of the track from the regular
station, which will offer protection to
baggage as we'll as passengers and
subway passage to the depot.
The claims of sKenosha to such a
station are obvious. The freight bust
ness of Kenosha with the N0rthw est
ern is necessarily large as that is the
only road running into this city. 1t is
a fact that the books of the North
western will prove that both the in
coming and the outgoing freight of
Kenosha on the Northwestern is great
1v in excess of cities even like Racine
and Waukegan. We have not the
large lake boats to divide the SHOP
ping. 1t is practically all done over
the Chicago & Northwestern, while
that of neighboring towns is distrib-
uted among several rival lines.
Moreover, the passenger traffic is
not much less than that of those
stationsSa1ong the-line from here to
Chicago, such as Lake. Forrest and
Highland Park, which have been pre-
scented with the subway station. The
preponderance ofsclaim of Kenosha for
such station over these towns as re-
CARDS the real business of the road,
namely freight, IS too apparent to need
examination. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped, and issquite generally believed,
that with those at the head of the
movement who are in the lead at this
time, the attempt will prove success

The Merlin came to- Kenosha to take

American Millionaires.

THE Saturday Review, an English
periodical, recently published an ed1-
toria1 of a somewhat scathing nature
on the American millionaires. The
gurport of the article was that the
American is good for only one thing
uzuaer the sun, and that is to make for
cures, He might have added, and to
distribute them in the re-establ1sh-
.r11eutof decadent British universities.
Bat this he did not seemingly see ut to
do Not long before the Review had
written its scuri1lous article Prot
Schurmann, of the University of Cor
nell, in a speech before the students
.dwelt upon the fact that the Americans,
while they are the industrial leaders OF
the world, are intellectual underl1ngs.
They have never produced a Shakes
cDeare, Newton, LaPlace, Goethe, or
anyone who should live in the same
category in history as these eminent
gentlemen.
While there is great deal of truth
an what the noted scholar, Prof.
Schurmann, has said, no doubt the
bulk Of the American people will re-
seat it as quickly as what was SAID by
The Review, across the water. What
ever the American has done does not
influence, in the mind of the average
American citizen, the popular notion OF
what he can do, when the time comes.
1t is true that we have not yet pro-
<zuced a Shakespeare, nor have we
produced Napoleon or Blsmark, but
there is no doubt IN the American
xniud of our ability to produce either
should the occasion arise. What we
have produced, however, and that in
the greatest profusion, is men of
prodigious energy and capacity. Ii
these men have devoted themselves
largely to making money, it is the fault
of the times not of the men or of the
United States. It is the same the
world over just at this moment. All
the nations of the civilized word are
striving for world supremacy in COM
zuerce. German, English and French
enen are alike striving for wealth,
each in his own way, and if the Am
erican has developed great intellectual
power, greater capacity and more
tireless energy, greater financial
genera1slip and enterprise than the
others, it is only because there is
better native ability here than else
where. When the times change, as
they doubtless will in the course OF
1zre years, and the numerous resources,
intellectual and vital, that are making
Americans the financial giants of the
world are turned into other channels,
theu the world may look for somethin g
as surprisingly unprecedented IN art,
literature and science as our present
industrial activity.

Special Agent Hambright Expects a
Big Turnout for Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo.
CHEAP RAILROAD FARE GIVEN
Special Train From Madison to Stop in
Kenosha and Pick Up Passengers at
Noon July 25-Hotel Rates Fair.

Special Agent Hambright, of the
Wisconsin commission to the Pan
American Exposition, is unusually
busy these days completing arrange
ments for the special train to Buffalo
on Wisconsin day, July p, for which
tickets will be sold for one fare plus 81
for ten days trip from any point IN the
State. A good dining car service will
be provided from Chicago on, while
special arrangements have been made
with the Park hotel III Buffalo for the
Wisconsin people. The building is a
fire proof structure located at the east
gate of the expedition, and it can be
reached by street cars from the depot
without change. The rates are from
ST to SIS a day for rooms, while there is
first class cafe in connection at reas-
enable rates. Moreover, good accom-
modations can be secured IN private
residences at 81 day for each person.
Hambright is Pleased.
eff people generally appreciated the
fact that they can secure admira BILE
accommodation at the finest homes IN
the city, said Special Agent c. M.
Ham bri ght last evening, "there would
be less com plant about high charges
at the hotels. Some of the most at
tractive residences in the city have
been thrown open for strangers at 81
day. Of course there is overcharg1ng
at many of the hotels, as 1T is fact
that most of them are Over-crowded,
so that the proprietors can readily get
their fancy prices. There are plenty
of good restaurants where one can
find meals, however, at satisfactory
prices. The exposition certainly is a
wonderful show, and the managers
are giving the patrons a great return
for the price of admission. Why, the
music alone is worth half dozen
times what a ticket costs. There
are the Sousa concerts and those
furnished by other famous bands
that afford the rarest sort Of treat
to music lovers. Every day the eX-
position managers are adding some
new attractions, and there is enough
to see 10 keep one busy for an lndetl-
mite time. The industrial show is ex-
ce1lent; and the exhibits in every class,
while not as large, of course, as those
in Chicago in 1895, are arranged with
the idea of offering great deal to see
in little space. The whole exposition
is compact; one does not wear himself
out looking at the sights. The Wis
consin building has proved a delight
to Wisconsin visitors. There are all
manner of conveniences, and everyone
is we'll cared for. The postoffice, check
rooms, writing rooms and similar con-
veniences are we'll patronized, and
hundreds of persons make the building
their headquarters"
The special train, which is to be
fitted with conveniences of which few
excursions can boast, will leave Madl-
son on Thursday, July rs, at 500 p m.
and run to Chicago over the Northwest
ern road, reaching Milwaukee at IL
O'Clock and passing through Kenosha
about one. Arriving at Chicago at 2
O'Clock, the train will leave over the
Nickel Plate road at 2:30. Buffalo will
be reached Friday at 7:5O a. m.

One of the most successful summer
attractions visitors to Chicago have
had the privilege of enjoying is the
new comedy opera, "King Dodo, "
which, with the opening of the present
month, entered it's sixth week at the
Studebaker. "King Dodo," by Pix1ey
and Luders, authors of the ''Burgo-
MASTER, was given it's first perform
ance of the stage Monday night, May
81, and scored an immediate hit. 1t is
work of mirth, movement ana mel
ody. There are genuine laughs every
minute and the music is so popular
that it is already being whist1ed on
the hig hNays. The scenic investiture
is more than handsome and the cos
tuning is almost regal in splendors
"King Dodo'' is presented by a COM

The Third Term.

THE unwritten law of the United
States against third term for the
Chief Executive is sacred thing. 1t
must not be violated. Had it not been
a wise regulation it would never have
been made by the inspired father of
the country. There is no need of a
third term for President Mckinley or
any other man, There are plenty of
men in the United States who are ca
pab1e of filing the responsibilities OF
the office, and there are men of para
mount ability, unimpeachable patriot
ism and thorough craftsmanship, who
are so close to the present administra-
ton that their promotion to the Presi-
dency, at the close of the second term
of President Mckinley, would cause
scarcely ripple on the surface. They
are so close to the administration that
they would step into the place made
vacant by Mr.. Mckinley with a COM
p1ete understanding of the policies and
situations of the administration. And
such men are not great ways to seek.

EVERY day the CONDITION or the IKE
publican party in the state grows more
hopeful. The lines of division are
breaking down. The bone of conten-
ton has ceased to be causus bell1,
the factions are disintegrating and the
promise is for whole party, solid and
united. -Kenosha News, Rep.
Just point out some of those signs.
Was the anti-LaFo11ette article which
you copied the day before from the
Appleton Post, and which you printed
in the same column and apparently
endorsed, one of them?
Yes, Mr.. Journal, in our humble
opinion the article in the Appleton
Post was one of the signs. The Post
has been one of the papers in the
republican party of the state most in
clined to accept LaFo1lette as neces-
sary evil and to throw aside opposition
to him in order that he might not be
allowed to break up the party. The
article alluded to which was quoted
from the Post by this paper manifests
change in the sentiment of the Post.
And as the Post is, many are, through
out the state. The element that had
given a semb1ance of strength to the
LaFo1lette revolt is just the element
that the Post represents. those who
out of devotion to the party and
through party loyalty have been dis
posed to put up with LaFo1lette tenn
porari1y, to maintain the final integrity
of the party, and were evidently of the
belief that the LaFo11ette diversion,
though an evil, was one of but small
character and bound soon to work itself
out. The element represented by the
Post submitted to the fiasco and coun-
ci1ed submission. In fact it was plainly
to these and the so-ca11ed stalwarts who
at the time threw over other consider
atoms and supported taFollette in the
interests of party Unity; aid have
since seen the error of their ways that
owed it's being. Therefore the signs
of unity that appear to us. These e1e-
ments are "a abandoning their position.
Hence we say that the lines of division
are breaking down and that the bone
of contention has ceased to be a causus
be11i. Not that there is not the same
spirit in the party leader of the revolt,
but his forces are deserving him and
without them there can be no war. A
year of LaFo11ette has taught many
who really have been deceived by him,
and many others who only mismeas-
ured his real personal and political
strength, that what appeared to be of
serious moment at time when the
most perfect harmony was necessary
was after all only anephemera1 flare.
Having learned they are all coming,
and are glad to come back to the
standard, with result that the forces
upon which Mr.. LaFol1ette built his
schism, so called, are disintegrating
and melting away with such celebrity
that another election time will find the
governor a man without a party,
leader without host. The disaffec-
ton of one man, who must be both
leader and following cannot constitute
a revolt, even though he retains few

Fish That Change Color.

1t has been found that certain
prawns, common along the coasts OF
England, change their color at least
twice every "a hours in order to har-
n,onize with the stronger or weaker
light prevailing near the surface or in
the deeper water. As evening ap-
proaches these fish lose their distinct
i've day colors, and all assume trans
parent azure hue. The change begins
with reddish glow, followed by a
green tinge which gradually melts
into blue. The day and night change
has become so habitual that specimens
kept in perpetual light or perpetual
darkness nevertheless undergo the Pc

The Census Bureau at the National
Capital has issued bulletin No. Ga,
under the date of May 29th, 1901,
from which some interesting statistic
al Information is obtainable.
The highest population credited to
any State aggregates 7,26S,S94 and Of
course belongs to New York.
The next State in order is that of
Pennsylvania, with population of
6,3O2,ll5
The third State in order of popula-
tion is that of Illinois, whose people
number 1921 $50.
The fourth State in population is
that of Ohio-whose people number
4,l57,545.
The State having the smallest pop
ulation is that Of Nevada, which by a
small percentage is slightly bigger
than Tacoma, having two United
States Senators and one Congressman
with the enormous population of
A., 2,335!-and yet it takes 10000 peo.
pie for Congressman in New York.
The next smallest State in the
Union, with like excessive representa-
ton when compared with other States,
is Wyoming, with population of 92,-

The next most Insignificant State in
population is that of Idaho, whose
people count but 16l,772.
In order that there may be prece.
dent for such conditions to exist in
the west it is only necessary to turn to
the Atlantic coast and gaze upon
+" little Delaware"-one of the original
thirteen States, and find that her pop
ulation is but 1S4.735. or hardly
enough to make up a modern Con-
