Paraphrasing a Joke.

A big, good-natured farmer was.
awaiting the suburban train, accom-
panied by a handsome Gordon setter.
Two SONS of Britain stood near him.
The dog strayed away from his own-
er, who was reading a newspaper.
Hey" called the farmer. Come
here, Locksmith," and the dog imme-
dlately ran to his feet.
One of the Englishmen approached
the farmer.
MAY l ask" he said, what you
called that dogY'
"Locksmith," said the farmer.
''And, why prayY
Because everytime I kick him he
makes a bolt for the door,"
There was a general laugh, in which
the Englishman joined.
When he returned to his companion
he remarked:
"Most extra ordinary name that man
over there calls his dog"
WHAT" asked his friend.
''Locksmith," replied the first Brit
on.
"And why such a namew
Because, he says, every time he
kicks i'm he bolts for the door. BAL

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, after what
might be called d re-tria1 of the Schley
case, has rendered his decision. After
the most exhaustive examination OF
all the papers, maps and documents IN
the case and personal interviews with
all the surviving senior officers present
at the engagement, the President still
adheres to his original opinion that
the battle was a captains fight from
start to finish, that "the command was
of merely nominal character" He de-
c1ares that although Sampson was
technically in command of the whole
fleet and Sch1ey of his division, that
$50 far as the actual fight was con-
cerned neither the one nor the other,
in fact, exercised any command" and
therefore are not particularly entitled
to any special credit. The President
insinuates that Schley was afraid
when he ordered the Brooklyn to make
that now famous "1oop," and so disap-
proves of the finding of the court that
Sch1ey was "self-possessed'' during
the whole battle and that his example
inspired and encouraged his officers
and men.
After having censured inferentially
at least every body connected with the
case from the Secretary of the Navy
down the President expresses the hope
that there will be "no further agitation
of the unhappy controversy" If the
President expects his decision to be
accepted as the final judgment on the
case he will be disappointed. The
case will not down. The high esteem in
which Schley is held by the people was
shown by the unusual honors heaped
upon him during his recent tour. They
believe him to be much abused man
and there will be further agitation"
until he is completely indicated.

Kenosha Street Railway Company
May Ask for a New Franchise
From the City Council.
ONE TO ELIMINATE INJUNCTIONS
If the Court Decides Against the Com
pany a New Franchise will Be Asked
for by Another Company.

1t is reported here today that within
the next few weeks new street rail-
way franchise ordinance will be sent
to the City Council for passage. The
ordinance will be presented by the
managers of the Kenosha Street Rail
way company, now holding grant IN
| the city, but it will probably be pre-
scented under the name of the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric Railway com
pany. For many months the work of
completing the lines of the company
in Kenosha has been delayed by an in
| junction and it is stated that if the
court should decide to make the in
| junction permanent every foot of track
owned by the company in Kenosha
would be menaced by the decision.
| The City Council has recently de-
manded of the com pany that the work
be hurried to completion and for this
reason it is thought possible that the
Council would consent to grant a new
franchise under which all the existing
difficulties would be removed.
One of the officials of the city, in
speaking of the matter this morning,
said that this plan had been suggested
to Mr.. Arnold and that he had taken it
under advisement. It is not known
why the franchise would be sought
under the name of the Chicago and
Milwaukee company unless it is the
| fact that there is a scheme on foot for
| the union of the two lines. This plan
| has always been considered as the
| final outcome of the deal of Mr.. Ar
mold in Kenosha, but he has always
denied that his road was in any way
connected with the Chicago and Mil
waukee company more than it would
act as a connection for the southern
road when he built his line from Keno
sha south to Waukegan.
| This plan, if carried out, would solve
the problem Of connecting Milwaukee
and Chicago, as the Kenosha company
now has right of way as far south as
Waukegan and IS connected with the
Milwaukee road at the north limits Of
the city.
The present plan of getting rid of
the Objectionable features of the fran
chise as we'll as the injunctional pro
ceedings seems to be heartily seconded
by a number of the members of the
City Council and it is probable that
there would be little trouble in secur-
ing the passage of a new franchise or
dinanCe.

MABELLE CRANE DIVORCED.
The Husband Gets the Decree on Charge
of Desertion.

George A. Crane, one of the leading
business men of Racine, was granted a
divorce from his wife, Mabel1e Barker
Crane, Feb. Is. The divorce was
granted by Judge Belden, Of the Cir
cult Court, and Mrs. Crane was given
$500. The charge was desertion.
Last July Mr.. Crane began an &C
ton for divorce from his wife, and SEN
sationa1 charges were made. When
the case was brought in the Circuit
Court Crane charged his wife with in
fidelity, but Judge Fish refused to
grant divorce as the charges had not
been proven. Then Mrs. Crane
brought suit for a divorce on the
grounds of cruel and thurman treat
ment and charged her husband with
demanding that she confess of having
had improper relations with certain
Racine men. This case was taken to
Madison and suddenly dropped.
A few days ago Crane brought suit
for divorce on the ground of deser-
ton. Social and business circles are
surprised at the outcome of the case.
1t is said that Mrs. Crane was en-
p1oyed as a sa1eswoman on the Mid
way at the Pan-American exposition
all last summer. All the parties in
the case are we'll known in Kenosha.

DAVID BARUM.
Pretty Comedy is Produced by the Frohman
Company at the Rhode.


Nearly every body has read "David
Harum," but before the reader can
realize the full beauty of the eccentric
old horsetrader as discovered by Ed
ward Moves Westcott he should see the
production of the play as given at the
Rhode opera house Thursday evening
by the Frohman company, headed by
Charles H. Bradshaw.
The play, which was one of the best
seen in the city, was greeted by rep
resentative audience of Kenosha play
goers. The scenic effects were entire
1y adequate to the production and every
scene was greeted with curtair~ca1l.
Mr.. Bradshaw shared the honors of
the evening with Miss Galloway, who
took the part of Mary Blake, and with
Charles E1drige, who interpreted the
part of "Zeke Swezey." The cast was
an evenly balanced one and all the
players were worthy of special notice.

STEPHEN CALF DEAD.
Early Pioneer Settler of Kenosha Expires
! at Home in Fraserburg, Scotland.
Perugino.

Announcement was received in this
city Friday evening of the death OF
Stephen Gait, one of the earliest
pioneers of the city. Death occurred
at Mr.. Ga1t's home in Fraserburg
Scotland, where he has resided for the
past eight or ten years. Twenty years
ago Stephen Gait was one of the best
known residents of the county and his
death will cause sorrow in many
homes in Kenosha.
The deceased was born in Aberdeen,
Scotland, May Dc, 1919. He received a
splendid educa ton in the schools of
Scotland and later learned the trade of
tailor. In the spring of 1850 he
came to Kenosha and worked as a
tailor here for six years. At the close
of this time he went out to the town of
Pleasant Prairie just south of the city
and laid out the village of Selma. He
engaged in market and truck garden
ing for many years and was the first
man to introduce the growing OF
strawberries in this part of the State.
While Mr.. Gait was raising vegeta-
b1es and small fruit, he managed tc
give great deal of his time to liter.
airy work. He was great reader, a
good orator and clever writer. A
short time before he left Kenosha he
issued little book of verse entitled
"Leaves From a Note Book"
The deceased was married in 1847 to
Miss Margaret Trail, of Scotland,
She is the sole surviving member OF
the family.

By all means, revive the Business
Mems Association if possible. Ar &C
tive, energetic. association of which
every merchant, professional man, and
manufactures was a member could
work wonders in Kenosha.
Not along the line of inducing out
side factories to locate here by offering
them a bonus, or by donating factory
sites and buildings. This city's expe-
rience in substituting Industries does
not differ greatly from that of every
other city that ever tried it. The con-
Germs that ask and receive the most
assistance are the least Likely to be of
any actual benefit to the city. But a
well organized association could do
much to improve local conditions.
For example, if the merchants doing
business on Main street had all been
membe of a well organized associa-
ton, acting for the common good,
would that street have been allowed to
remain in the filthy condition that it
has been in all winter. Individual
protests and possibly the approach of
he spring elections have moved the
authorities to clean up q little, but a
demand for a clean street from an as
ISOLATION representing all the business
houses would have sent the honorable,
the Street Commissioner, to cleaning
up on the run, and the street would
have been kept clean afterwards, too.
Individual complaints receive little or
no attention. The party making them
is set down as "knocker" unworthy
of any consideration, but the author
titles could not afford to disregard the
protests of a strong association.
Again if demand for better accom-
modations for the travelling public had
been made to the railway company by
a strong association representing the
largest shippers over the line Kenosha
would have had new depot long ago.
The railway receives as much revenue
from Kenosha as it gets from any city
on the line of the road between Chica.
go and Milwaukee, but its citizens are
obliged to put up with the poorest SER
vice of any. Only good could result
from the influences of strong bust
ness mems association and it is high
time that the association was reorgan.

ACTING under the direction of the
President the Attorney General will
soon begin proceedings to test the 1e-
ga1ity of the great railway consolida-
ton undertaken by the Northern Sc
curities company. Some time ago the
Attorney General gave an opinion
that the opera tons of the Securities
company violated the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law. The organ
izers of the Securities company claim
that there has been no actual consoli-
dation of railway systems and that
each will be operated under an indie
pendent management. The bill IN
equity which the Attorney General is
preparing will ask that the court de-
clare the action of the company illegal
and order the return of the stock in
the railways held by it to the original
owners. The case, having as it does
a direct effect upon the prosperity of
millions Of citizens, is the most i'm
Uortant one to come before the Su-
preme Court in recent years. The
public generally will approve the
course taken by the President. 1t is
better for all parties concerned that
the question of the legality of rail
way merger of this character be finally
settled by decision of the Supreme
Court

educational Institution in the city to
demand a general vaccination of it's
students and an order was issued
Thursday to the effect that all the stu

will be generally obeyed. 1t is prob
able that the matter will be taken up
by the teachers of the city schools
within few days and some effort will
be made to have the parents appraised

the disease has largely subsidized in
Racine and the people are regarding
