America.

Perhaps little poetic,nyet having
certain element of philosophy in it, is
the utterance of Clarence M. Spencer,
in a recent number of Harper's Week
1y. We quote from the article for the
suggestion it contains.
"Herei is Nation, America. First
plant, then sapling. then tree.
Branches grow. Crafts are made,
rendering, let us hope, the fruit more
luscious. What resemblance does it
bear to the plant? None, if considered
as a whole; much, if each twig is no.
ticed. The tree is constantly expand
ing. What matter the protests of the
grooming trunk? Do the branches stop
growing at it's request? MOI! Emphati-
ca11y. No. It must continue to grow
until it has reached its highestsdevelop-
ment. That is exactly the condition
of America today. Make mock at
SO called Destiny, if you will. That
does not controvert the fact of its de-
velopment, it's expansion. And it is
always the young shoot of the tree that
takes the initiative in expanding. The
old trunk may groan, it may protest,
but it has to gather added strength to
support the burden, and unconsciously,
it too expands. So we find the United
States in this dawn of new century.
The wise heads, the sage heads, the
old heads, the composite trunk of the
National tree grooming ana protesting.
But to what good? We cannot recall
the purchase of Louisiana though
many wise heads were raised against
it. We cannot recall the acquisition
of California and Texas, though many
sage heads discountenanced it. We
cannot recall Dewey's fleet, which
wisely or unwise1y shot another branch
out from our expanding tree. Still we
grow. Destiny? Maybe, no. Maybe
yes"

JAMES J. MALLoN IN KENosHA
Burglar who Escaped from the Milwaukee
County Jail Said to be in This City.

The police of the city are keeping a
sharp lookout for James ]. Ma1lon, a
burglar who escaped from the county
jail IN Milwaukee Friday morning by
working a clever trick. Ma11on was
reported to have left Milwaukee for
the south, and last evening man was
seen around the Northwestern station
who is said to have been counterpart
of the fugitive burglar.
Ma11on worked a clever ruse to es-
cape from jail. He had been confined
in the Jail for some time on a charge
of burglary. In some manner he dis
covered that one of the inmates of the
jail, Joseph Smith, was to be released
Friday morning, and when the deputy
sheriff entered the jail and called the
names of the inmates to be released
the name of Smith was called. Ma1lon
answered here and a few minutes
later he was safe on the outside of the
Jail, and before the mistake was dis
covered he had made good his escape.
A short time later Smith awoke and
demanded to be released. Deputies
were at once sent to all parts of the
city, but no trace of Ma1lon was to be
found, and it is stated that he left
Milwaukee on a south bound train.
The Kenosha police have not as yet
been able to find any trace of Mallon,
or the man who is alleged to have
answered his description.

Action Of an Alleged Priest Causes
Him to be Considered an I'm
poster by Kenosha People.
HE SEEKS FUNDS FOR CHARITY
Is Not Known to the Catholic Clergy of
Kenosha and One of Them Calls
Him an ''Impostor

There was a dramatic scene enacted
in one of the offices at the Meyers
building Friday afternoon when an
alleged priest, seeking funds for the
carrying on of some charity, was
thrown from the room in an uncere-
monious manner, having been declared
an impostor by the occupant of the
office. The work of the alleged priest
and his identity is being sought by
many people of Kenosha.
The priest in question came to Ke-
panied by another man similarly
dressed and they came to work among
the Catholics of the city. Their mis-
sion was not exactly plain and 1t is
hardly probable that it will ever be
discovered, as the men have left ke
nosha and it is thought that they took
considerable money out of the city.
Shortly after the men came to Keno
sha one of them went among the pro-
fessiona1 men, but he met an icy re-
ception when he reached the Meyers
block. Here he went into one of the
Offices and sa1uted the occupant by
name and sought assistance. The man
was fau1t1ess1y attired in the garb of
the Catholic nc1ergy and acted very
much like priest.LI AS he stepped into
the office and called the professional
man by name, the latter recognized
him and, began to look for game.
The priest asked for money, stating
that he was establishing an orphan
age. This didn't GO with the wou1d-oe
contributor and he demanded refer
ences. The man at first stated that he
was a Catholic and when he was asked
to show recommendations from the
local clergy he stated that he was not
a Roman Cacho1ic, but an Orthodox
Catholic. The professional man then
recognized the man and showed him
the door. Before he left the office the
priest had .been denounced as an inn
postor and had made no effort to deny
the charge. A short time later an eff
fort was made to locate the two men,
but they had evidently left the city.
The man, who had the encounter
with the alleged priest stated that he
visited him in his office last year and
that he was building a church at
Phillips, Wis, and that he was con-
WINGED. that the fellow was an impos-
tor. AS the two men were working
largely among the members of st.
James church, Father, Roche was in
terviewed"on the matter and he said
that he felt certain that the man was
an impostor. He said that there were
no such priests sent out by the Roman
Catholic church and that he was in no
way aware'of the work. the man had
been doing.
It is not known how much money
the two men managed to secure while
they were in the city, but it is thought
their gain was considerable. 1t the
men are swindlers and impostors, as is
claimed, they should be given credit
for having a unique game.

Is Kenosha what you would call
well governed city? Looked at in all
the phases of city government it
strikes one that there is much to be
wished for in the conduct of the affairs
of this city. Taxes are an old riddle
and have baff1ed many a man and body
of men appointed to administer them,
but it seems that there is more than
usual ground for complaint IN that
quarter in Kenosha. The finances of
the city are not in a condition to sug-
gest the idea that the city has been in
the hands of the best possible business
managers. The manner in which the
laws of the city and of the State rela-
tive to saloons and gambling places
and the like have been enforced does
not convince one that the executive of
the city is devoted to the strict enforce
ment of law. The smanner in which
railway legislation has gamboled
about the Council chamber and the
comment that has arisen is not calcu-
lated to inspire one with the greatest
respect and esteem for the ability and
integrity of the present regime. In
fact, on the whole, there are numerous
things about the management of the
affairs of the city during the past two
years lin fact for the past four years.,
that indicate strongly that they arc in
e E,,1 a f16
attention of the voters of the city.
This condition of affairs should be
mended if the city is to prosper and
maintain it's self respect. From past
experience it seems that there is only
one way to accomplish such remedy.
Similar conditions have existed in
both Republican and Democratic ad-
ministrations. A year ago the Repub-
1ican party sought to put in the field a
ticket that would assure the city a
clean and business-1ike administration.
A man was placed at the head of the
ticket who has the esteem and respect
of every citizen of Kenosha. Not
withstanding, the man and the ticket
were defeated and the present admin
istration, with its past record, was
elected.
The only possible means of remedy
for the existing state of affairs, then,
seems to be non-partisan party with
a non-partisan ticket and a reform
platform. The condition exists in this
city that exists in almost every city in
the country, viz: that there are not
enough thoroughly good and compel
ent men in either party who are avail
able and practicable as candidates for
public office. There are enough good
and competent men in both parties,
however, who could be elected and
could give the city an excellent admin
istration, if the stress and obligation
of party and party af61iation were
withdrawn. This condition could be
brought about by the nomination of
an independent non-party or bi-party
ticket with a platform distinctly stat
ing what the ticket stands for.

WHEN the United States of America
had achieved their independence from
Great Britain and the war was over,
and the great men of the states had
met in the solemn convention at Phil
ade1phia, we do not recall that in the
proceedings of that convention it was
at any time suggested that the consti-
tuition, then being drawn up, should
provide for the authority of our great
ally, France, to interfere in our for
eign relations. We do not recall, more
oyer, that history accords any very
strenuous effort on the part of France
to have such clause inserted in the
constitution. It is difficult to say,
therefore, just what action might have
been taken by the constitutional con-
vention sand by the states if the
government of France had insisted
on some such recognition of its help
and interests. 1t seems safe to
say, however, that the consti-
tuition of the United States would not
have been materially changed by any
such action.
Then, what about our claim to inter
fere in the affairs of Cuba? Is it true
to the traditions of the :nation and the
spirit of the constitution to insist on
the power to interfere in Cuban affairs
provided for in the resolution recently
reported to the senate? The question
naturally arises when one contem-
plates the probable action of the coun-
try relative to Cuba, in the light of
what was done at Philadelphia one
hundred and fifteen years ago. But it
will possibly be found on careful con-
sideration that there are very essential
differences in the relation of the
United States to Cuba, and that of the
government of King Louis XVI TO the
revolving states. And. moreover, 1t
may3appear on de1iberation that there
are still OCCASIONS when the general
laws of rig have to- pc violated tc
promote ultimate I.good, as there
were in the days of the~makings of our

TO RAISE SUGAR BETS.
Farmers Around western Union Junction
to Make the Experiment

From forty to sixty farmers, mostly
from different sections of Racine
and Kenosha counties, assembled at
Western Union Junction Thursday af-
ternoon and discussed the question OF
growing sugar beets. Mr.. Wagner,
represent ative of the sugar beet REIN
cry at Menominee Falls, made an
address, and explained what profit
there was in the business, and farmer
who has been engaged in growing
beets also talked.
The farmers decided that they would
engage in the business to a certain ex-
tent, but refused to sign contracts of
any kind.
In talking with some of the farmers
after the meeting, they said that 1t was
safe to estimate that 200 acres in and
about the junction would be planted
with beets this year.

NEW COLLEGE BUILDING.
1t is Reported That Prof. Trenary will
Purchase the Reynold Property

It was reported today that negotia-
tons are pending for the sale of the
proyepty of Samuel Reynolds, on
Market street to Prof. 0. L. Trenary
for use of the College of Commerce.
AS far as can be learned the deal has
not been concluded, but Prof. Trenary
has an option on the property, which
will expire in short time and it is prob
able that the sale will be made this af-
ternoon. The property is ideally To-
Gated for the college and as he must
vacdte the court house by the latter
part of next month Mr.. Trenary is
forced to act in order to avoid dismiss
ing the school for some months.
AS soon as the deal is completed the
house on the property will be con-
verified into a school house. The house
is large and admirably fitted for the
uses of the college. With a little re-
pairing it can be made large enough
to accommodate the demands of the
college for several years to come.
In the meantime it is stated that
Prof. Trenary is thinking of building
a new building on the lot dur
ing the summer which will be built
with the view of use as college build
ing. Should such building be built
it is probable that several new branches
will be added to the curriculum of the
favorite Kenosha school.

WHILE Mr.. Hoar talks of his fears in
committing to five men despotic power
over $4,000, 900 of men, and of the mar
ve1ous change it seems to manifest in
the minds of the people of the United
States since the days of the Declara-
ton of Independence, he should re-
member that even the fathers of this
country once found it necessary, in the
pursuit of liberty, independence and
union, TO commit despotic power to
one man over all the people of the
States.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Burglars Attempt to Break Into Barber
shop of Harry Seaver.

Burglars Attempt to Break Into Barber
shop of Harry Seaver.
The arrest of one burglar in Keno
sha seems to have had little effect on
the criminals in Kenosha, as it is re-
ported this morning that an effort was
made to burglarize the barber shop
owned by Harry Seaver on West Main
street some time during the night.
The burglars were very daring and
broke one of the windows in the front
part of the building. When the win
dow had been broken the thief reached
in and was in the act of cutting away
the putty SO that the glass could be re-
moved when he was frightened away.
1t is thought that this burglary was
the work of local talent. For some time
a number of young men have been
seen 1oafing around the depot and con-
suming whatever came into their way,
but it seems that work was as far
from these men as the east is from the
west. Now that the criminal chapter
of the history of the city has been
opened again, it would pay the officers
to keep close watch on number OF
local crooks who are suspected of these
crimes.

DEFENDS Els POSITION.
Prof Better States why He Legislated
Against Marbles on the School Grounds

Against Marbles on the School Grounds.
Prof. Better, principal of the Deming
school, whose action in preventing the
scholars of the school from playing
marbles on the grounds about the
building created quite little comment,
was seen today and defends his po-
sition in this regard. He states that
it is necessary for the principal of any
school to take measures to promote the
best discipline and for this reason the
rule was made. Prof. Better states
that the rule is not of recent origin,
but was made several months ago and
that no complaint was made until the
trouble of opening the grounds was
brought up. He says that the rule is
to be continued. Mr.. Better seems to
oppose marbles on general principles
on the ground that they promote love
of gambling among the pupils. He
states that he has been informed that
on some of the school grounds the pu-
pills have been known to play dice and
other gambling games and that the
marbles played for are sold for money
and on this account he felt it his duty
to call halt.
The boys are still taking stringent
measures and it is reported that one of
the boys is carrying his marbles in the
inner pocket of his shirt to prevent
their confscation in any raid which
may follow the PRONUNCIATION OF the
order of Principal Better against the
marbles.

Freedom.

The American people, descended
from pilgrims and puritans, those
magnificent men who planted the
principles of free government in the
western hemisphere, and hewed out an
empire in the unbroken wilderness,
who fought their way to independence
and, out of the chaos of conflicting
opinion framed the Constitutions
work unequa11ed by any similar pro-
duction of the human mind, and finally
recemented the severed fragments of
the States by the precious libation of
their blood-these American people
will never permit freedom to perish in
the world. 1t is this idea that aroused
a great Nation to cut the gordian knot
in Cuba, by which it became master of
that pearl of the Antilles as Alexander
of Macedon became master of Asia,
for it's liberation, but not it's ens1ave-
ment. 1t is this, and this only, that
causes the voice of the United States
to be heard in China-that voice has
been raised not to declare war on the
Chinese empire, not to claim share in
the division of territory, but to aid the
Celestial Empire crush wild and
cruel resolution and preserve its ma
tiona1 identity and integrity. China
trusts us. Porto Rico trusts us. Cuba
also can trust us. So also the Phil
pinos.

MIDDLE STREET TO BE OPENED
Land to Be Purchased for the Extension OF
the Street and Bridge Will Be Moved.

1t is very probable that the early
spring will see Middle street con-
tinued from Milwaukee avenue to
Washington Island. With the settle
ment of the troubles over the Main
street bridge it is reported that the
street committee will report to the
council in favor of the opening of the
street and for using the old Main street
bridge for bridge over the river to
Washington Island. For some time
after the city contemplated the open
ing of the street the property desired
began soaring and it would not have
been possible for the city to have pur-
Chased it at that price, but more re-
Gently one of the members of the COM
mittee reports that he has arranged SO
that the land needed can be bought at
a reasonable rate and the committee
will ask for the opening of the street.
