A Plain Truth.

If Robert M. LaFollette and Isaac
Stephenson will publicly declare that
they recognize the value of Senator
Spooner's service to the nation and
state; if they will openly advocate his
reelection to the United States Senate
and use their influence and the organ
ization of which they are the leaders
to bring about the happy event; if they
will break the silence which they have
maintained during the many months
of controversy upon this point and dis
pei the doubt that exists in the minds
of some of their partisans as to their
feeling toward senator Spooner, they
will effectually spike one of the largest
guns of the opposition to Governor La
Follette's Milwaukee
Sentinel.

AN UNEXPECTED TRIP.
Wankegan ladies Board Trahaain, Search
OF Bridal Coupae-Carried to- Kenesha.s

A 1aughab1e affair occurred between
kenosha and Waukegan a might or so
ago. Two prominent ladies of Wau-
kegan discovered, what they took to
be, newly married coaple going TO
the evening train. Thinking to have
little sport, they stepped into store
and purchased some rice. Arriving at
the depot they engaged the bride t?) in
conversation. They were disappointed
at not finding the groom ~. When
the train pulled in they boarded it
with the other passengers, thinking to
throw their rice on the couple and
then get off. But the conductor was
somewhat late with his train, so he
hurried on, and when these ladies at
.empted to alight, they found they
could not. Soon the conductor called
for tickets, but our friends, having no
money, were obliged to borrow from
passengers. They were carried on to
Kenosha, where they had to wait till
eight O'Clock before getting a train
back to Waukegan.
| The joke seems to be on the Wauke-
gan ladies, for the supposed bride and
groom were own brother and sister.
Ladies, before you crack another
joke, be sure which side the laugh is
going to land.

Superintendent Of the Meiselbach
Typewriter Co. Gives Up His
Position-Goes to Chicago.
MEISELBACH IS TO TAKE HOLD
~
of the Plant Will Be I'm
dertaken by the Owner in Person-Mr.
Week Goes With Waiting Manf'g Co.

Elmer Week, who for the past two
years has been Superintendent of the
A. D Meiselbach Typewriter plant,
has rendered his resignation to the
company and will leave Kenosha at
once. MIR. Week will go to Chicago
within the next few days to accept a
position with the Waiting Manufac-
turing Company. Ia his new position
Mr.. Week will have charge of a larger
plant and will receive a much larger
salary than he has received at the Ke-
nosha plant. The Waiting Company
are manufacturers of specialties, the
feature of their product being coin
machines and dies.
With the retirement Of Mr.. Week
from the Meiselbach plant Mr.. A. D.
Meiselbach, the owner Of the plant,
will personally take upon himself the
work of experimenting the big plant.
Mr.. Meiselbach is entirely familiar
with every department of the factory
and as superintendent he Will I'M
doubtedly be great success.
Mr.. Week has been closely connect
ed with the manufacturing interests in
kenosha for many years and his re-
moval from the city will be source of
regret to many people. Mr.. Week
first came to Kenosha as the Superin-
tendent of the Sieg- Wa1pole company
and the great success of this company
during the earlier years of it's life was
largely due to the work of the SAperin-
tendent. Before the failure of the BIZ
cycle company Mr.. Week left Kenosha
and went to Chicago and gave up his
tfalle largely to the completion of an
invention IN the way of an arithmetic
al machine. This machine, which has
been patented, has never been, placed
on the market, and it is possible that
in'hisy new position Mr.. Week may find
an opportunity to place the machine
ontthe market.
Ggr. Week leaves the Meiselbach
plant with the best wishes of all the
managers and the workmen. The
plant is now IN perfect condition and
turning out q large number of ma
chimes daily. The machine has been
brought to rare degree of perfection
and the orders now being received are
keeping the mem busy. It is probable
that the force at the factory will be
largely increased within few weeks
in order to allow greater volume of
work to be done.

Wichita, Kansas, announces that Mrs.
Carrie Nation, famous as saloon
smasher, has left Medicine Lodge, the
scene Of her triumphs. and is on her
way to Zion City to join the Dowie
colony. Mrs, Nation declares that the
religion of the Dowie cult is the only
true religion and that she has been
healed by DR., Dowie and has become a.
healer. She will probably reach Zion,
the latter part of the week and will at
once take an influential place in the

There is no one in the country that
will attract more attention to Zion
than Carrie Nation. It is hoped, how,
ever, that Mrs.. Nation will be kept
within the bonds of Zion City. An in

keepers will at once begin to erect wire
screens in front of their windows and
in front of the big mirrors back of the

THE session of Congress which
closed yesterday has more important
legislation to it's credit than any SEES
sion for many decades. The appro-
priations made by this Congress,
which in the aggregate amount to the
enormous sum of 1925, 9O8, 262, are said
to be larger than ever before made by
any Congress in time Of peace. The
appropriations are made for perfectly
Legitimate purposes and the expendi-
lures are made necessary by the COM
mercia1 and territorial expansion Of
the country.
Against the splendid record of what
has been accomplished by the present
Congress stands the black mark of it's
failure to enact the Cuban Reciprocity
measure. The great majority of the
people believe that the country is at
least morally bound to do something
for Cuba in the way of reciprocal trade
arrangements, and the spectacle Of
Congress, IN the face of an overwhelm-
ing public sentiment and in spite of
the pleading of the President, sailing
close to the border line of national dis
honor and refusing to fulfill national
obligation because of the machina-
tons of small minority of its MEM
bers who represent the beet sugar
trust, is not pleasing one.
Although in regard to Cuba Con-
gress has failed in its plain duty, yet
much important and creditab BILE legis1a-
ton has been accomplished. The bill
for the establishment of civil govern
ment in the Philippines has been
agreed upon. The war taxes have
been repealed. A permanent census
bureau has been established. The
Chinese exclusion act has been ex-
tended. The manufacture of oleomar-
garine has been regulated in manner
demanded by the dairymen. An ex-
tensive irrigation system for the arid
lands has been established, and an
isthmian canal is at last provided for.
Among the more important measures
which were introduced but which
failed to pass were: The ship subsidy
bill, the pure food bill, the bill for the
creation of new cabinet portfolio to
be known as the Department OF Com
merce and Industry; the resolution for
the popular election of senator's, and
the omnibus territorial bin for the adj
mission of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma.

BADGER COLT BEATEN.
dick Welles'' loses, the KeRNvoOdi Stakes
to- Tom, CoOgan~


Dick Wel1es, formerly owned by
Heating and Hecker, heralded as the
best 2-year-old in the west and counted
as winner of the Kenwood stakes
at Washington Park, failed to fill his
contract and lost the event to Tom
Coogan, member of S. c.. Hildreth' 5
stable, who began the year with a
flourish but who, was 1ateT content 20
associate with ordinary thorough
breds.
Jockey Coburn, who rode Tom
Coogan, and Dominick on Stem Winder
are past masters at doing smart
things, and as soon as the horses
lined up at the barrier they proceeded
to break up starts. Dominick did
more than his share of it and was fned
$50. Coburn did enough, however, to
draw a fine of $25.
The horses ran close together to. the
stretch, when Stem Winder fell back
and the others fought it out, Tom
Coogan winning by length. Coogan
belongs to S. c. Hi1dreth, who took ia
So, $40 as result Of the victory.
The defeat of Dick Wells was sur
prise to Kenosha sports, although the
prohibitive odds had made it impos-
sible for many Kenosha people to put
up money on the colt. BY the defeat
of the colt Heating and Hecker lose a
thousand dollars as one of the con-
ditions of the sale was that should the
colt win the Kenwood stakes Respass
was to pay the Kenosha owners of the
colt an added thousand dollars.

WOMAN SEEKS SHELTER.
WonRani of Fifty Claims She Has nepHome,
and, Asks. For Shelter.

ANU AlSKkS EOE Sn0IG0rs
There is something of a mystery
connected with woman who applied
to the County Jail Tuesday night for
shelter. which, the police and county
officials have not been able to- solve.
The woman is Fifty years of age, and
when she asked for place to sleep at
the jail she declared that she. had no
place she could cali home, and that she
was a, wandeTer. She was given a
place to, sleep at the jail, and this
morning County Agent Gonnermann
granted her transportation to, Waulse-
gan.
The, woman would say nothing of
herself or Of her past history. A trace
of refinement i'm her face seemed toin-
dictate that she had seen better days,
bat it is evident that she has been on
the. road foE some time. Her clicking
was old and worn, and she seemed to
be desperate. She made an effort to
secure work here, but her appearance
was against her, and she was forced to
ask for shelter. When she started to
leave the city this morning it was nee
essary to- have a dray to- take the be-
1ongings which the woman carried
with her to the station.
An effort is being made to discover
something in regard hathe history of
the woman, but thus far the officials
have discovered nothing more than the
fact that she came to Kenosha from
Racine.

JOHNSON A. JACKSON,
Chairman Senatorial Com.

THE Naval Appropriation bill, as it
goes to the President, contains an
item providing for training station
on the great lakes. The bill provides
that the Secretary of the Navy shall
ppoint board of naval officers whose
duty it shall be TO select suitable site
for a naval training station on the
great lakes, and if the site is located
on private ground, to ascertain the
price for which it can be purchased.
The board will make a detailed report
to the Secretary of the Navy, who is
directed to transmit the report to Con-
gress with his own recommendation as
to the choice of site. An appropria-
ton of $4,000 is made to defray the ex-
penses of the board. This amount be-
comes available Immediately and the
board will be appointed by the Secre-
tary without delay. The board will
commence operations at once and it is
probable that it will examine the sites
offered by the cities on Lake Michigan
before the summer is over. 1t is due
to the efforts of Senator Spooner that
the provision esta blishing training
station on the great lakes was retained
in the bill, and, other things being
equal, some Wisconsin city ought to
get the plum. There is no city in the
State that has the natural advantages
for the training station possessed by
Kenosha and some effort should be
made to call the attention of the board
to what this city has to offer. Many
Cities along the lake shore have the
harbor facilities, but in none of them
can the amount of land required for
the station be secured in the vicinity
of the harbor at a reasonable price. At
Jacobs island, for instance, a harbor
sufficient for all the needs of the sta
tion could be constructed at compare
lively little expense, and the lands ad-
accent could be purchased at nominal
uRuTGs 1D nOSL O1 the OluCI CAl4SS
which will bid for the station the
lands bordering upon the harbors are
held at very exorbitant prices, and
the difference between the amount the
government would be obliged to pay
for land in these cities and what the
land in the vicinity of Jacobs island
would cost would more than pay for
the construction of the harbor. It
might also be possible to secure OPP
-tions on enough land on Washington
Island to offer a site there. Situated
almost midway between Chicago and
Milwaukee, the two great recruiting
stations for the naval service, Kenosha
may be sale 10 be an eligible cen
7tral position for a training station,
aud if some effort is made to call the
attention of the board to the advan-
tages' offered by the city, Kenosha
should stand good chance to secure
the prize.
