EVANSVILLE. Ind, June IAN inter
esting boycott has been inaugurated at
Newburg. Warrick county, in which the
bulk Of the population has been inadver-
tently drawn into the trouble. The Farm
Hands Union, OF Warrick county, is after
the butcher who conducts the only meat
shop in town, because his father, who is
wealthy farmer, employed a farm hand at
81 per day instead of Sl.25, the union scale
Finally the elder man submitted to the
demands of the union, but the latter was
lot satisfied because the hand in question
is not a member of the union, and his dis
missal is demanded. The farmer refused
TO let the man go and the boycott con-
tinues. Rather than get into trouble the
people have ceased TO eat fresh meat, and
are satisfying themselves with smoked

The following quotation taken from
the last general order issued by the
department commander of the G. A.
R. will be of interest to all the old
boys in blue and also to the veterans of
the Spanish-American war:
sit is 'withI great pleasure that the
that every post has paid the full per
capita tax. There are therefore no
delinqueRts posts to report. Such
promptnessis highly to be commended.
The commander hereby calls attention
to all comrades, the widows of ex-
soldiers and 'the brave boys of the
Spanish-A merican war and all others
who are entitled to pensions or increase
IN pensions, to the fact that the
ad iutant general of Wisconsin,, Gen
eral c. r. Boardman, is also state
pension agent. BY applying through
his Office fora ipension no attorneys
fees will have to be paid. This pension
department is under the direct charge
of Charles H. Russell, past department
comma nder, and his assistant, ]. c..
Williams, who has had many years of
Experience in. the management of
pension matters"
1t will be noticed that way is
pointed out to the old veterans where
by they may obtain any pension or
increase in'pension to which they may
be entitled without paying attorneys
fees. This is as it should be for the
pension attorneylshark is one of the
worst of the abuses which have grown
up under the pension system. Either
man is entitled to a pension or he is
not. If he is not no attorney ought to
be able tosget one for him. And if he
is it ought not to be necessary to en-
ploy an attorney to get his rights.

Members OF the kenosha Country Club
Make Plans to Extend Club Life
Through the Winter.
A NEW CLUB HOUSE is PLANNED.
In Case of the Organization OF New Club
Among KenOsha Sportsmen.

A number of the members of the
kenosha Country club are making
plans for the installation Of "Winte1
Club in Kenosha to take the place Of
the Kenosha Country Club The club
men and women have no intention OF
giving up the Country Club or the
Golf links, but when the winds grow
cold and the SHOWS get deep it is nee
essary for the membe to leave the
links and the club house, and they are
now seeking plan by which they car!
secure club home for the season.
B. F. Windsor, Charles and Nathan
Allen, George A. Yule and other lead
ing memb ers of the club have noticed
the demand for some amusement ip
the winter and from this demand the
idea of winter club has been formed.
The plans of the interested club mem
bers are so far rather preliminary, but
il is proposed to build a small club
house IN the center of the city for the
use Of the members during the winter.
While it is expected that the club
will contain many of the mem bers of
the Kenosha Country Club the two
clubsswill not be in any way connected
with each other. In the winter club
house it is proposed to erect set Of
bowling alleys and to open rink for
curling. Curling has not been played
in kenosha in many years and there
are many residents of the city who are
devotees of the game, and if curling
rink we're opened the game would be
very popular. The promoters of the
club are planning to have the club
open for both ladies and gentlemen
and considerable interest in the pro-
posed plan has been aroused among
the women of the city.
The opening of such club has its
draw backs on account of the large ex-
penditure of money demanded for the
first year. The building of the club
house and the installation of the
bowling alleys will demand the ex,
penditure of. quite sum of money
and it will be necessary for the club
members to raise about $500 for the
first year. After this year the expenses
of the club will be compare lively
small and it is possible that the small
fees charged for the use of the bowling
alleys and other privileges of the club
would make it self-supporting.
The plan proposed for the raising of
the funds for the club is the formation
Of a company and the issue of stock to
the interested parties. With this plan
if the club should prove to be profit
able venture the men who make it pos.
sible will be repaid for ny expenditure
made by them in starting the ball
rolling.
The matter will be taken up at an
early meeting of the interested parties
and if it is decided to open the club the
work of building club house will be
started next month.

to the regular form provided by the
state of Wisconsin.
The incorporators of the new club
are Harry Webb, Albert c. Morris and

The purposes of the club are not
stated in the articles more than the
mere statement that the club is to be
an amusement club and that it is
orga nized without capital stock. It is
stated further that there are to be no
dividends declared or no pecuniary
profits to the members. It will be
located in the city of Kenosha and

While the articles state that the club

other clause in the incorporation

consist of only people holding stock in

strange state of affairs. but all clubs

THE President in his Logansport,
Ind, speech shows that he is entirely
in accord with the great majority of
Western Republicans who have never
been accustomed to regard tariff
schedule as holy thing. He realizes
that something ought to be done, but
is fearful of the effect upon business
of wholesale revision of the tariff at
short intervals. He says:
"What we really need in this coun
try is to treat the tariff as business
proposition and not from the stand
point of the temporary needs of any
political party. 1t surely ought not to
be necessary to dwell upon the ex-
treme unwisdom, from a business
standpoint, from the standpoint of ma
tional prosperity, of violent and radi-
cal changes amounting to the direct
upsetting of tariff policies at intervals
of every few years."
And further that "belief in the
wisdom of protective tariff is in no
way inconsistent with frankly admit
ting the desira bility of changing set
of schedules when from any cause
such change is in the interests of the
nation as a who1e--and our tariff pol
icy is designed to favor the interests
of the nation as whole and not those
of any particular set of individuals,
save as an incident to their building
up Of national we11-being."
Since changes in the tariff are con-
SANITY needed to meet changing in
dustrial conditions, the President pro-
poses an expert non-partisan commits
sion which should be competent to
deal with the revision of the different
schedules of the tariff as the need
arises from time to time, and suggests
that any action upon the tariff should
only be taken by Congress after a
thorough investigation by the commits
sion. He wants something done, and
as he puts it, his personal preference
would be for action which should be
taken only after preliminary inquiry
by, and upon the findings of body of
experts Of such high character and
ability that they could be trusted to
deal with the subject purely from the
standpoint of our business and indus
trial needs, but of course Congress
would have to determine for itself the
exact method to be followed"
