IF THE City Council at their next
regular meeting decides to give to the
company organized by B. ]. Arnold a
franchise to operate a street railway
in Kenosha, they will secure without
extra expense to the city the services
of transportation expert who stands
at the head of his profession. Mr.. Ar
mold has just been engaged by the
Traction committee of the Chicago
Council to re-organize the whole street
railway system of that city, and the
fact that he has been intrusted with
such important work there is good evil
deuce that if he is given franchise in
Kenosha the work will be in compe.
tent hands. The city is fortunate III
having the opportunity to deal with a
man who has both the money and the
ability to carry out his contracts him
self, and not with one who seeks a
franchise for speculative purposes.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY has just dis
posed of the last of it's Wisconsin
lands and has realized altogether S13,-
900, 900 from the sale of them. They
were located in Chippewa, Gates,
Sawyer and Price counties. There
are just as good opportunities for in
vestment in that part of the State now
as there were when the land was pur-
chased by the University trustees.
The great opportunities for profitable
investment still remaining in the
Northern counties of the State are just
beginning to attract capital and care
full, foresighted investors are taking
advantage of them. That section of
the State has almost unlimited re-
sources and great possibilities of future
development. Within a few years it
is bound to be one of the greatest pro-
ducing areas in the country and the
men who are now investing in land
there are going to reap enormous
profits

THE clause providing for naval
training station on the great lakes was
dropped from the naval appropriation
bill by the House without debate. The
naval officers called before the commit
tee on naval affairs when the bill was
being drawn, stated that seventy per
cent. of the young men who enlisted in
the navy during the Spanish war came
from the West and that they were of
the most desirable class. The navy
has been and is now short of men.
The warships now building will re-
quire to properly man them $4,000
men in addition to those now in the
service.
II was claimed that with naval sta
ton on Lake Michigan it would be
possible to enlist young men from Chi
cago and other lake cities, get them
together, put them through prelimin-
airy training,v dismiss those who did
not care to stay, and weed out the bad
element. Then, after the ruen selected
had been trained they could be sent
East.
AS a measure we'll calculated to in
crease the efficiency of the navy the
provision of the naval appropriation
bill establishing a naval training sta
tion should have been carefully con-
sidered by the House. 1t is possible
that the Senate may restore the pro-
vision creating the naval training sta.
tion when the bill reaches the upper
House, but the House of Representa-
tives should have left the bill as it was
drawn,

Concerts as Advertisements.

A writer in a new magazine de-
nounces the folly of concert giving.
During the London season about eighty
concerts week are given.
Il believe he says, 1.-The population
Of London is about 100000. After
deducting from this figure the num-
Der who cannot afford to go to con-
certs, and those who have not
the brains to understand concerts
professional footballers, county court
judges, army men, government Off
cials-what is the size of the constitu-
ency to which the concert giver can ap-
peal?"
The writer concludes that concerts
are given by piano manufacturers who
want advertisement and astute must
cal agents who trade on the vanity Of
the inexperienced performers Paris

Promoters of Telephone Company Order
Articles of Association Prepared.
The members of the proposed COM
pany formed for the purpose of build
ing a connection for the Bristol Tele-
phone company in Kenosha met Fri
day evening at the Office of A. E.
Buckmaster for the purpose of starting
the work. The meeting was presided
over by c. E. Dewey and A. E. Buck
master acted as secretary. It was de-
cided to proceed at once with the draw
ing up of articles of association for
the proposed company and committee
was appointed to take charge of this
work.
While this committee is completing
the organiza ton of the company the
work of extending line from the
county Jail to the limits of the city will
be completed at once.
Fl. B. Robinson was elected temper
airy treasurer of the association TO have
charge of the funds for the building of
the portion of the line. The company
have not as yet made any plans for the
future but it is probable that a more
extended line will be built as soon as
the company has been regularly
formed.
The manager of the Bristol company
have started to fulfill their portion of
the agreement and the poles are being
set for the building of the line to the
West limits of the city.

Chicago Brass Works Gives all It's
Employees Half Holiday on Sat-
urdays This Summer.
THREE HUNDRED MEN AFFECTED.
Company is the First in the City to Grant a
Holiday Without Extra Work.-Big
Amount Lost by the Company.

The managers of the Chicago Brass
Works sprung very pleasant surprise
on their workmen Thursday afternoon
when cards we're handed to the work
men of all the departments stating
that the company had decided to grant
to every man andsboy in the factory a
five hour holiday on each Saturday
during the summer. The new schedule
will go into effect on June 2nd. The
voluntary action of the company is
being applauded by the workmen.
None of the employees had asked to be
allowed the half day off and the phi1an-
thropy of the managers sets a new
prescedent for Kenosha factories.
For some time the factories of the city
have been closing on Saturdays, but
during the week or else the men are
forced to lose the pay for the half day
SO granted. The order issued to the
men shows that the plan at the Brass
Works is a different one. The order
follows:
Commencing June End and for the
months of June, July, August and Sep
TENDER, 1902, we shall run our works as
follows: Taking as basis of time
ffty-fve hours week. ten hours each
Monday to Friday inclusive, and five
hours on Saturday. The rate of pay
will be the same for ffty-fve hours
full service rendered as it is now for
he present number of hours.
No time will be allowed for washing
up and the full pay will not be allowed
unless the full ffty-fve hours of
service is rendered.
We hope that this voluntary act on
the part of the company for the COM
fort and we'll being of its employees will
be fully appreciated and that their
service will be such as to warrant our
action.
CHICAGO BRASS COMPANY"
One of the managers of the plant in
speaking of the matter Thursday even
ing stated that the men at the Brass
Works had hard work in the summer
months and that the managers thought
it was but just that they should have a
half holiday on Saturday. He stated
that he thought the voluntary action
of the company would result in the
best of service being rendered by the
men employed and would result in
both the plant and the men employed
being benefited.
Tt is probable that the ice is broken
and other factories will follow the lead
Of the Brass Works and grant holidays
to their men during the heated season.

MANY leaders of the Democratic
party outside of Congress are not in
sympathy with the attempt of the
Democratic Senators to make a polite
al issue out of the charges against the
American troops in the Philippines.
They foresee certain defeat for their
party if the campaign is made along
these lines. The great mass of the
people have faith in the army and will
not consent to even appear to be in
sympathy with its detractors. One Of
the leaders of the party, man whose
words carry great weight in it's coun-
sells, in referring to the course pursued
by certain Senators said:
Attacks upon an army in the field
have not helped political party in
this country and never will. The peo-
pie believe they have the best, the
most humane and trustworthy army
in the world, and they will stand by
it. Our army comes from among the
people, is a part of the people, and
carries the popular confidence and af-
lection wherever it goes. Our soldiers
in the Philippines labor amidst great
difficulties. They wade the. mud,
force the jungles, face treachery and
savagery, endure the tropic sun. A
great majority of the American people
believe they are doing the best they
can and that they should mot be as
sailed at home"

UNITED STATES JUDGE KoHLsAAr
has decided against Rostand in the
famous suit brought by S. e. Gross,
the Chicago real estate man, to deter
mine the authorship of Cyrano de Ber-
gerac, and Richard Mansfield is en-
joined fromanever producing the famous
play again. The play is to be known
hereafter, in this country at least, as
the Merchant Prince of Cornvi11e, the
name bestowed upon it by Mr.. Gross.
The real estate man is said to be salts
fed with the vindication of his claims
to the authorship and he will make no
attempt to recover the immense royal
ties paid to Rostand. The whole af-
fair is looked upon by the Parisians
as huge joke, and it certainly looks
as if the Chicago real estate man
ought to produce at least one more
'vark of merit before his claim to pre-
e.a'1ent literary ability is acknowl-
edge.

IF the Governor expects to gain any
thing by locating the State convention
in city where the hotel accommodate
tons are ridiculous1y inadequate to
properly care for the delegates, he will
be disappointed. The scheme of the
La Toilette faction to freeze out their
opponents by securing all the hotel ac-
commodations in advance will not
work. The interest in the convention
is so intense throughout the State that
every delegate will feel in duty bound
to attend even if he has to camp out on
the university campus and have his
meals sent to him from Milwaukee.
