THE worm has turned at last and
the patient and long suffering hus-
bands and fathers Of Beaver County,
Pennsylvania, have petitioned the
Legislature asking that a law be
passed to make card playing for prizes
illegal. They affirm that unless i'm
mediate relief is granted them, they
will soon be without homes or wives;
that it now takes their homes to pay
for the prizes and their wives devote
SO much time to the struggle to win
them that they have none lett to de-
vote to hubby and the children. We
never could see the moral difference
between playing cards for blue chips
or blue vases, but there must be one
because so many rice people will play
for the blue vases who wouldn't think
of "sitting in a quiet little game" for
the blue chips.

this age of newspapers man who
does not read and form an opinion on
any celebrated case should not be con-
sidered of sufficient intelligence to sit
on jury.
In the judgment of Justice Brewer,
after thirty seven years continuous
service on the bench and at the bar,
the most serious defect of the present
jury system is the rule requiring a
unanimous verdict. It gives too good
an opportunity for an INSCRIPTIONS
lawyer to defeat justice by getting
friend on the jury, or for single OBJ
stinate Juror to overthrow the verdict
of eleven men quite as competent to
pass Judgment as himself The Judge
thinks that the rule should be changed
so that two-thirds or three-fourths of
the Jury could render q verdict.
The rule of unanimity could only be
changed by a constitutional amend
rnent, but he hopes the day is not far
distant when this reform will be in
stituted.

rs LOYAL TO JEFFERY.
G. W. Bennett Resigns Responsible Posi-
ton to Return to Old Employer.

&c. w. Bennett has resigned his po-
sition with the American Bicycle Co.,
and leaves New York on the 10th to
become sales manager for Thomas B.
Jefery & Co., with headquarters at
Kenosha, Wis. Mr.. Bennett was one
of the G. & j. old guard, being the old
est employee of the firm now with the
A. B. G. He joined their forces in the
'80s, opened up the southeastern states
for them, when there were only ''Pop"
Hickok, of the Pope people, and Ben
nett travelling in that section, and was
assistant manager of the Washing ton
branch from 1892 to 1895, having
opened it in 1890. Mr.. Bennett was
appointed manager of the Brooklyn
branch in 1895, handling automobiles
there during the last year of his in
cumbency, and was appointed manager
of the eastern branch of the Rambler
sales department in 1900, controlling
the eastern states and the five eastern
branch houses. Upon the late reorgan-
ization of the A. B. G. he was selected
to manage the southern states for ali
the lines. He resigns that position to go
back with what is left of the old firm,
unquestionably creditable display of
loyalty 1.-The Motor Age.
J. w. Bennett, the gentleman spoken
of in the bove article, intends to make
his home in Kenosha and will be a
valuable citizen. Mr.. Bennett is one
of the most widely known men in his
line in the United States and his ser
vices will undoubtedly be of great
value to the Jeffrey company. The
News desires to extend to him hearty
welcome to Kenosha and hopes that
his efforts may have so great meas
ure of success as his loyalty to the old
firm deserves.

KENOsHA and Rich1and counties
were the only two fortunate locations
in the State where smallpox does not
now exist or has not existed during
the past year. The annual report of
Dr. Wingate, Secretary of the State
Board of Health, has just been made
and shows a startling increase in the
number of cases IN the State in the
past year. In 1900 there were reported
to him 588 cases of the disease. In
1901 there were 4,4415 cases reported
and the doctor further states that IN
all proba bi1ity not more than one-half
of the cases were reported to him.
DR.. Wingate said smallpox was
probably at it's height at present and
if stringent measures were taken to
arrest it's spread the number of cases
rom now on would probably gradually
decrease.
The plan of the Board for the sup
preston of smallpox is to employ two
or more skilled physicians to travel
about the State to assist local boards
of health in diagnosing cases of sus-
pected smallpox, maintaining strict
quarantine, insisting on the vacc1ua-
ton of all persons exposed to the pest
and helping in all other possible ways
to wipe out the disease.
The disease appears to be more
prevalent in the country districts, due
to the fact that the local boards of
health have failed to recognize it's
presence until large number Of peo-
pie have been exposed.
The only way that the present cpl
den1ic can be controlled is by careful
and if necessary repeated vaccination
of every person who has not been sue
cessfu1ly vaccinated within the past
five or seven years. The doctors have
noted repeatedly that the disease has
affected ali members of a family,
skipping those who have been vacci-
mated, even when they have been ex-
posed in the house throughout the
course of the disease.
That Kenosha county has so far
been free from the presence of this
1oathsome disease is due rather to good
luck than to any special preventative
measures. The presence in the county
of large numbers of men, gathered
from anywhere and everywhere and
brought into the county by the ice
companies, to harvest the ice crop is
an added menace to the public health.
These gangs of men should be careful
ly watched by the health authorities:
Vaccination causes in most cases but
temporary Inconvenience and every
one should do their share in controll
ing the present epidemic by submit

AFTER much discussion whether a
singular or plural verb goes with the
United States, the House Committee
on the Revision of Laws has at last
decided that legally, at least, the
United States "is.'' In the early days
of the republic the laws, treaties, all
public documents, and even the Con-
stitution used the plural verb. In the
wording of treaties greater attention
is paid to the language than in any
other class of public documents. Up
to 1890 the plural form was used in all
treaties, but since that time the singu-
lar form has been adopted. In making
this decision the committee was largely
Influenced by a pamphlet on the sub
iect under discussion entitled care or
Isl written by John W. Foster, who
was Secretary of State in 1923. In
this pamphlet Mr.. Foster cited the
usage in presidential messages, laws,
treaties and other important public
documents from the begin ming of the
government down to 1897.
Jefferson was the first of the Presi
dents to use the singular verb.
In the earlier message President
Jackson used the singular form, and in
later years Lincoln, and since the civil
war particularly, Grant, Cleveland,
Harrison, and Mckinley used it exclu
sive1y.
In recent years the decisions of the
Supreme court have invariably used
the singular verb in connection with
the United States.
Among the best writer's of English
of modern times the use of the singu-
lar verb has obtained almost exc1u-
sive1y. The logic of the result of the
civil war settled the question for all
time-the United States is a nation,
zone and inseparable."

FRANK BODE SELLS OUT.
Important Change is Made in the owner
ship of the Firm of Bode Bros. Co.

1t is announced today that Frank S.
Bode, one of the brothers comprising
the firm doing business under the firm
name of Bode Bros. Co., has sold out
his interest in the business to Michael
and Matt. M. Bode, the two other
brothers who were in the firm. The
two brothers will remain in business
and it will still be carried on under
the firm name of Bode Bros. Co. The
business was started by the three
brothers eight years ago, and it has
had phenomenal growth. The bust
ness was started on small scale as an
exclusive furniture house but the bus
mess has grown until at the present
time the firm lease the first and second
floors of two large store buildings and
deal in everything that pertains to the
house.
The new firm is a popular com bina-
ton in the city, and they will undoubt
eddy receive the same large amount of
trade that was accorded the Bode Bros.
Co. when the three brothers were con-
nected with the store.

Sons and Daughters of the American
Revolution Celebrate Washing
tons Wedding Day.
RELICS OF THE PAST EXHIBITED.
Many Heirlooms Cherished by the Sons
and Daughters are Placed on Exhibit
tion.-A Patriotic Evening.

One of the most unique and highly
enjoyable events ever held in Kenosha
occurred Friday evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Grant on Prai-
RE avenue, when the members of the
Kenosha chapters of the Sons and
Daughters of the American Revolt
ton held Joint reunion and celebra
ton IN honor of the anniversary of
the marriage of George and Martha
Washington.
The feature of the evenings enter
tainment was the display of a loaned
collection of relics of the Revolution
airy times. In honor of the event the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Grant was rich
ly decorated with flags and patriotic
emblems, and pictures of Washington
andshis bride we're hung in every room
in the house.
The exhibits in the loan collection
were of a most interesting nature
There was everything possible to re-
call the Colonial and Revolutionary
days. In one of the rooms was to be
seen a great lot of china and pottery,
which had been handed down from
generation to generation. There were
chairs which had belonged to the fam
lilies who came to America in the early
part of the Seventeenth century, while
one of the prize exhibits was she'll
comb (which had been worn by some
dashing belle in the days of 1872.
Another interesting exhibit was
wallet which had been carried through
the Revolutionary war by one OF the
ancestors of a Kenosha daughter. In
another room was placed an old spin
ning-whee1, which had belonged to one
OF the ancestors of Mr.. Grant, and
near it was hung large blanket which
had been spun by the owner of the
wheel,
In this room was an interesting old
paper bearing the signature of George
the Second. Other interesting relics
were the old Revolutionary muskets
which were hung on the wall in the
halls giving the effect of an old Colon
ia1 home.
The most interesting exhibit for the
ladies was the collection or old CHINA,
and it is doubtful if such a collection
of heir1ooms was ever gotten together
before in the State. A large number
of the two chapters was present and
the reunion was of a patriotic nature.
Miss Gill and Mr.. Grant gave NUM-
Der of readings during the evening,
and Mrs. Tanner sang number of
patriotic songs. At the close of the
musical and literary program dainty
refreshments were served.
A small fee was charged each one
present for the evenings pleasure,
and the money taken in this manner
will be sent to Washington to be added
to the fund for the erection of the Con-
tinental Hall which will be the Nation
al Headquarters of the Society of The
Daughters of the American Revo1u
ton.
