Nor long since the News ventured
fine oDinion that the factiona1 fight IN
the Republican party of the State was
Incoming less deep centered and more
superficial, owing to the fact that the
Ia Toilette faction was diminishing
with an encoura ging rapidity and the
deserving cohorts enlisting under the
banners of the opposingj faction. In
supDort. or rather in evidence of this
condition, we quoted few editorial
remarks from papers that had prev1-
DUSTY been disposed toIfavor La Fol
1ette. The Free Press, the La Toilette
milwaukee paper, made comment on
the NEWS opinion, in which it pro-
.ceeded to disparage the changed heart
of the papers quoted by attrlout1ng
them TO disappointed political ambi-
tons.
The Free Press will possibly deal
gently with us if we remark that we
fail to see the force of its comments.
The reasons it gives for the changed
sentiment of the papers quoted by the
NEWS are altogether conjectural and
anv fair minded man would hesitate to
make the charge However, II there
is anything of truth IN the statements
or iusinuations of the Free Press, it
looks to us only like farther evidence
that the La Toilette ranks are weak
eniue. for if therei is disafection, what
ever the cause, the fact remains that
fhe faction in which the disafection
occurs, which in this case is the La
Toilette faction, is the loser. More
over. the Free Press by its comments
only points to another reason, among
rnauy, why there has taken place Sc
rious desertion from the La Toilette
ranks, namely, that La Toilette has
proven himself bad leader. AT the
crucial moment, when, had the forces
that were in the balance turned
against him, he would have been 1r-
revocabiy defeated, those forces threw
aside ali other considerations and raj
lied to his support. In return tnere1or
he has made the atrocious error of con-
Quoting himself toward his allies as a
dictator and tyrant rather than sought
means and methods that would bind
them to him and secure his position
Considering the question discussed by
the NEWS, the weakness of the reply
of the Free Press is grotesquely appar'
eut. It acknowledges that those who
the News mentions as having turned
from La Toilette, have found reason t.
90 SO IN the consummate unwisdom Of
the Governor. II the considerations
with which the Free Press charges the
responsibility for the change in the
papers we quoted are decisive in case
like this, then there is promise of thu
most widespread trouble for the L;
Toilette faction, as the absolutely I'm
compromising procedure of the Gov
eruor is bound to be productive o
annie occasion for such considerations

ROB THE POOR BOXES
Despicab1e Crime Committed Last Night at
St George and st. James Churches.

DSSp1caDle CT1mS COmm1GtSu LdSG Nlsu1 dU
st. George and st. James Churches.
The most despica BILE crime that has
been reported in Kenosha in many
months was reported today when the
police were notified that the poor boxes
in both ST. George and St. James
church had been robbed of their con-
tents, The amounts missing from the
churches is probably small, but there
is no way in which the exact amount
of the loss can be discovered. The
robbery was committed some time last
night and it is evident that some one
under the garb of Christian wor-
shipper went to the two churches and
using pinch bar broke open the little
boxes and extracted the contents. The
robbery must have been an easy one
as the churches have both been left
open during the last few weeks on &C
count of the fact that large companies
of worshipers are making the Jubilee
through the churches daily and it is
probable that mixing with this crowd
of devout worshipers the petty thieves
piled their calling while the other
people prayed and sang songs of praise.
During the visits quite a little has been
contri buted for the support of the poor
but the boxes had been emptied only a
short time ago, that it is not thought
possible that the thieves obtained
enough to pay them for their trouble.
Father Roche stated this afternoon
that he thought the amount in the box
at st. James church would not have
been more than fifty cents. In the box
at St. George church the amount was
much larger and it appears that the
robbers we're disturbed while at work
at this church, as sixty-seven cents in
change was left in the bottom of the
box.
The police have no clue to the guilty
parties, but every effort is being made
to locate them and if caught they will
be punished to the fullest extent of the
law.

REPORT PROGRESS.
Manufacturers Meet at Home of z G. Sim
mons to DISCUSS Cooperation Scheme.


mons to DISCUSS Cooperation Scheme.
The manufacturers Of the city held
another meeting at the home of G. z.
Simmons, Prairie avenue, Thursday
evening, for the purpose of discuss
ing the new scheme for cooperating
with the 1aborers to make kenosha
model factory town. Nothing of es-
necia1 interest was done at the meet
ing, but progress was reported by the
committee which is arranging for the
permanent organization of the manu-
facturers.
Every factory in the city, save the
N, r. Aliens Sons tannery, is repre-
scented in the'move, and the report that
several of the factories have refused
to cooperate is without foundation.
The plans made are being carried out
as rapidly as possible, but it will take
some time to get the scheme in work
ing order.
The plan of the Kenosha manufac-
turers is not new one, as 1T has been
tried in other manufacturing cities
and has proven to be a success. Pc AT
St, Joseph, Mich, a similar plan was
put in operation, and forty houses
were built the first year. Even greater
results followed in succeeding years.
The factory men are all enthusiastic
over the scheme, an something posi-
tive will probably be done at the next
meeting.

gate in which the press OF the State is
indulging at the present time, there
occasionally crops out something that
reminds us that there is something
else for the State press to do than
throw mud, and there are other con-
siderations that should find weight
with the public than the grievances or
gain of petty politicians. The follow
ing very sensible discussion of the
real grounds of the conten ton, namely,
the primary election law, is one of
these reminders. We quote it from the
Milwaukee Journal:
GA long step will have been taken
when the power of making our nomin-
atoms is taken away from the polite
ians and placed directly in the hands
of the people, when men elected to Of
fee will be directly responsible to the
people who choose them and not to
certain political managers or semi
public corporations, by whose inf1u-
ence they are now usually chosen"
"There are two grounds of objection
TO the proposed primary election law;
one is founded on the nature of free
institutions and the other is the prac-
teal. Of the practical side of the ar
gument the paragraph cited is the ker-
mel. It is almost demonstration, to
put it moderately, that the primary
plan will not take the making of NOM
nations away from the politicians. It
is manifest from all observations made
on the few experiments open to in
spection, that the politicians can use
the primary election with greater ad-
vantage to themselves than the caucus
system to force their states on the peo-
pie. It is claimed that the new plan is
decidedly to the advantage of the poll
tician and the machine. It's opponents
urge with confidence that "certain po-
1itica1 managers or semi-public corpo-
rations" will have much greater ad-
vantages than they now possess, and
that it is the purpose of the primary
election law and the design of it's orig
inators to increase the power of the
machine in politics.
"This line of contention must be
kept clear and plain before the public;
it is the practical and decisive point.
If it is conceded that the Stevens bill,
or any other along that line, will &C
comp1ish what is set forth in the quo
tation, then we want it, at least expe-
rimenta11y. But it is not conceded;
far from it. The contrary contention
is that the same result can be obtained
under the present system even better,
if the voters Will only do their duty,
and is accomplished when they go at
it. The new plan must show, before it
is accepted, that it will do this better.
1t is not enough to show that the pres
ent system is faulty, or corrupt. The
proposed one must be obviously better.
Is it?

+ SECRETARY LONG has ordered a
court of inquiry into the causes of the
charges made against Real Admiral
Sch1ey. The American people will
welcome a settlement of the long
drawn out controversy between Sanp-
son and Sch1ey. It is to be hoped that
the court will find that the gallant off,
Ger who won the hearts of the people
of the United States off Santiago in
1898 has left nothing on his record to
tarnish his fair fame, and that the
brilliant and brave Sampson is as
fau1t1ess as his fellow officer. More
over, if there are those who have been
secretly and ma1icious1y seeking to
undermine the fortune or defame the
character of either Admiral Sampson
or Admiral SchleY, may the court Of
inquiry discover the fact and give
such parties over to their proper pun
ishment. On all these points
Americans will await the action of the
court with greatest interest. On the
manner in which the would be histor-
ian assai1s man who, whatever else
he may be, has repeatedly proved his
courage beyond dispute, however, the
mind of the people of the United
States is already made up and public
sentiment will place Maclay, by COM
mon consent, in the category where he
has sought to place the hero of San
