Kenosha High School Pupils Begin
Work for the Annual Declama
tory Contest.
DISTRICT CONTEST IN KENosHA
An Effort Will be Made to Have the Big
Contest Held in Kenosha-.More Than
Thirty Kenosha Speakers Take Part.

The pupils of the Kenosha High
school are arranging for very inter-
esting time during the opening months
of the new year, when a representa-
tive will be selected to represent ke-
nosha in the annual state dec1amatory
contest to be held at Madison later in
the year. Last year was the first year
that Kenosha was represented in the
declamatory league and the represent
tatives of this city took such high
rank in the league that the pupils ex-
pect to win even higher honors. A
radical change has been made in the
manner in which the representatives
of the Kenosha schools in the contest
will be selected. Instead of holding
one primary contest the Principal is
arranging to hold three local contests
and all of them will have a great local
interest. The first contest, which will
be held within a few weeks, will be be-
tween the members of the lower class
es. Later contest will be held be-
tween the members of the upper class
es, and the final contest between the
winners of the two contests will decide
on the representatives to represent the
city in the contest to be held in the
First district. Many of the pupils
have signifed their intention of enter
ing for the contest and several of them
have started to prepare for the event.
It is thought that there will be at least
thirty contestants. In the second pre-
1iminary contest the Kenosha speakers
will be forced to contest with speakers
from Racine, Burlington, Whitewater,
GAINESVILLE and Be1oit. An effort will
be made to have the district contest
held in this city, but no place has as
yet been arranged for the holding of
the contest.
In the contests last year Theodore
Abel and Arthur Ho1derness repre-
scented Kenosha and both succeeded in
taking part in the final contest.
The dates for the primary contests
will be announced at the opening of
the schools on Monday next.

What is genius? A great many
have defined genius in great many
ways. 1t has even been called hard
work. But with all the ingenuity that
has been exercised in defining this
evasive, wi11-o' -the-wisp quality, it has
been missed altogether. It is not a
matter of training nor environment; it
is not an inheritance, nor is it mat
ter of brains and intellect, for these
have been plenty where genius was as
scarce as roses on Pixies Peak. Then
what is genius? Everything consid-
cred it seems to be an accident. I'm
less genius is such common thing to-
day that it has lost it's distinguishing
marks, there is no genius known
among the benighted individuals
dwelling upon the earth within the
confines of the United States, nor has
there been since the sun first rose on
the thirteen independent states, unless
we put the inspired men who framed
our constitution and secured our indie
pendence in that category.
If genius is anything on earth but
an accident, why should not one occa-
sional1y crop out in this country? If
conditions produce the particular va
riety of human animal known as gen.
Jus, almost ali sorts of conditions that
ever existed anywhere prevail some
where within the somewhat extended
boundaries of the United States. If
education is responsible, surely educa-
tiona1 advantages were never greater
nor more widespread than IN the
United States at the present time. If
the sublime and beautiful in nature
and art, or intimate association with
scenes and localities imbued with his
toric interest, inspires the soul of the
genius to wonderful thoughts, there
are none of these lacking if the genius
were about to get the inspiration. The
facility with which the literary ones of
today, who, like the women of Israel,
go about cherishing the hope that they
nourish the divine life can reach
the places that of old inspired Homer
and Virgil, and have kind1ed the light
in Byron and Dante and the rest
would seem to give genius great op-
portunity if it were anything but an
accident.
But accidents will happen, and it is
not out of the realm of possibility that
there may spring up genius among
the children of this most practical,
commercial and business-like day and
nation.

What shall the new century do with
Uncle Sam. Shall Uncle Sam be al
lowed to live on in these nondescript
garments that he is so apparently out
growing, or shall the ingenuity of the
twentieth century fit him outin more
becoming and more appropriate garb?
These are weight questions that may
well engage the attention of serious
the opinion that our Uncle would be
just as good fellow and just as popu-
lar with all his nieces and nephews if
he were given over TO the tailor long
enough to get change of frock. We
opine that Uncle Sam should be In
every way representative and typical
of the United States. 1t may be that
the picture of Uncle Sam, that has be-
come so familiar to the world, was
good Characterization of the typical
American in the old days, of which
Dickens used to write with so much
keen humor, but it requires surpass-
ing stretch of the ina gination to met
amorphose the modern American into
anything like the well known, well
liked and somewhat disapproved figure
of Uncle Sam.
The fact of the matter seems to be
that Uncle Sam has grown so fast in
the past century that he has pretty
well gotten his growth. He is no
longer the overgrown and awkward
youth. Indeed the cartoonists seem to
have appreciated that fact and at

Many KenOsha People Seem to Have
Been the 5upes of Gang
Of SWindIerS.
THE POLICIES NEVER ARRIVED
The Agent Who Represented himself to
be the Representative of the Com
pany Pocksted the Money.

From stories that are going about
the city it seems that several persons
III Kenosha and in the town of Salem
have been the dupes of clever crowd
of insurance fakirs that have been
making Kenosha their working place
for some time. 1t is claimed that there
were five men in the crowd of swim
d1ers, but as far as can be ascertained
only one of them found kenosha
county profitable working place and
he has escaped and is probably beyond
capture by the officials of the county.
The man worked first in Kenosha
and by straight work managed TO write
a number of policies in well known
Chicago companies. From Kenosha
he went to the town of Salem, and
while he was there the real nature of
the swindle leaked out. The fellow
gave his name as Lyon and it is
claimed that almost half a hundred
policies were written in the town of
Salem, to say nothing of his work in
Kenosha. Some days ago he had some
exceedingly good work and managed
to write up a couple of policies, IN
which the premiums netted him over
fifty dollars. The fellow left the
county the following day and one of
the men who had been insured, when
he failed to get his policy wrote, to the
company in Chicago and asked in re-
gard to the matter. The letter at once
came back that the man had made no
return to the company for the policy
and the company refused to issue it.
Just how many worthless policies
have been sent broadcast throughout
the county nobody seems to know, but
several people have lodged complaints
against Lyon and his methods, with
the Sheriff. It is alleged that the
would be agent also nestled up to
valuable overcoat belonging to Sa-
lem man, and when he decamped
short time ago the overcoat was still
in his possession.
Efforts are being made to locate
Lyon and it is claimed that he has
gone to little town in Indiana, where
he is working similar dodge. If pos
sib1e the man will be arrested and re-
turned to Kenosha for trial.

Kenosha Boy Takes the HOnOrs in the
Sophomore Contest at the State
University Friday Evening.
HE MAY REPRESENT WISCONSIN.
Ksnosha orator Wins His First Prize On An
Address On the subject of Capital and
Labor'-Has Many Contests to Win.

Louis F. Rahr, of this city, won first
honors at the preliminary Sophomore
contest in oratory at Madison Friday
evening and it is possible that the Ke-
nosha orator will be selected to repre-
sent Wisconsin in the coming contest
between the Northwestern colleges and
universities. The contest last evening
was the first contest among the stud
ents for the year. 1t was held at Hes
peria Hall and there were large mum
Der of contestants. Mr.. Rahr spoke
on the subject "Capita1 and Labor"
and was unanimously awarded the first
honors of che contest.
This victory for the Kenosha boy
assures him place in the college con-
test and it is possible that he will be
selected as the representative of Wis
consin. His speech was a mastery
effort, taking the side of the 1aboring
man, as opposed to the capitalist. He
made an eloquent appeal for better
conditions for labor and his speech
was received with burst of applause
among the students.
Rahr is considered one of the best of
the younger orators at the university
and he is expected to make a good
showing for his class when the final
contest is held. The success of Rahr
will not be a surprise to his friends in
Kenosha, as he has always been con-
sidered an orator and his ability along
this line won for him the title 1.-The
Rising Young Orator of Lake Michi-
GAM.
During the political campaign just
closed Mr.. Rahr was among the Repub-
lican speakers in the county and made
several speeches.

Party Responsibility.

In column editorial on the primary
election law the Sentinel takes up the
cudge1 against the opinions of E. d.
Coe, published elsewhere in the Senti-
mel, in which Mr.. Coe apparently takes
the ground that the Legislature, in so
far as it is Republican, is not bound
by the declarations of the platform and
the expressions of the convention re1a-
tive to primary election law. The
conclusion of Mr.. Goes letter is as
follows:
GA convention is not a manufacturer
of party opinion; if it reaches out be-
yond the limits of well ascertained
party will it can do so properly in a
tentative or suggestive manner only.
Conventions sometimes have such in
structions from their constituencies as
to make their declarations mandatory.
This certainly was not the case with
the Republican state convention of
last July. Neither can it be claimed
that the following election worked an
endorsement of the resolution adopted;
there was no chance for a separate
vote upon it, and it was submerged
under other issues of far more absorb
ing interest. But under the circum-
stances the legislature can not do 9TH
erwise than to take the matter up; and
it should do so without prejudice, with
courage and honesty, regardless of
clamor or hotbed petitions, giving to
every influence, for or against, its just
weight, and SO decide the matter on its
merits. And in SO doing the result
will be accepted by the public without
