FELL IN THE RIVER.
Two North Siders Have New Reasons for
Directing to Main Street Ferry Boat.

Two North Siders Have New Reasons for
Directing to Main Street Ferry Boat.
Jacob Neiderprim aud Samuel Sew
ert have good and sufficient reasons
for objecting to the Main street ferry
boat, for the boat was the cause of the
two men taking plunge into the river
Monday evening. Both of the men
are employed at the Simmons factory
and as they started to return to their
homes on the North side they were
forced to use the ferry. Both were a
little late and Neiderprim jumped for
the ferry and landed on the deck.
Seivert also jumped, but he failed to
reach the deck. He was able to catch
hold of Neiderprim, however, and the
two men rolled together into the filthy
water of the river.
The excitement caused by the acct
dent was quite intense, but the two
men managed to get out of the water
and on to the ferry boat without as
sistance. This makes four people who
have fallen into the river as direct
result of the Main street ferry.

Main Street Business Men Declare
That the Ferry Boat is a Menace
to Business.
ALDERMEN SAY IMPOSSIBLE
Every Plan for the Construction of Foot
Bridge Said to Have Been Found Inn
Observation-Disclosures Possible.

There is a ringing demand heard
among the merchants on Main street
for the construction of foot bridge
over the river at the Main street cross
ing, and these men declare that the
present means of using a ferry to
transport pedestrians from the North
to the South side of the river is a
menace to the business interests of the
city, and that there has already been a
slump in business on account of the
fact that the people of the North side
! are unwilling to walk the three blocks
necessary to get to Main street.
Some of the business men are urging
petition to the council, while others
are Offering to pay portion of the
cost of the bridge if the mem bers of
the council will see that it is erected.
The aldermen who were in charge of
the matter are defending their action
in the engagement of the ferry boat
on the grounds that all plans to build
bridge presented to the committee
have so far been proved impossible.
Alderman Schend in speaking of the
matter Monday stated that he had
held out for the building of foot
bridge, but that the committee had
found such plan to be practica bly,
impossible. AS last resort he had
consented to approve the ferry boat
plan. This statement was duplicated
by Alderman Greenwa1d, who claimed
that it was impossible for the bridge
to be built so that it would stay in po-
sition for any length of time without
obstructing the channel.
Both of the aldermen have taken a
deep interest in the matter on account
of the fact that many of their con-
stituents are forced to use the crossing
many times during day. City Engi-
neer Moth, in speaking of the matter
said that it would be possible to build
bridge, but that it would demand q
large expenditure on the part of the
city and that the completion of the
bridge would give the city only make
shift which would probably be a
menace. to the lives of all who used it.
So interested have some of the bus
mess men become in the matter that
one of them has managed to secure the

KenOsha Athletics Defeated in the
Final Game Of the Series on
the Racine Diamond.
BY A SCORE OF FIVE TO THREE.
Umpire Seemed to Favor Racine in Close
Decision and This Was Responsible
for the Loss of the Game.

There is no longer any doubt as to
the differences between the Kenosha
and Racine base ball teams and Mana.
ger Alleman has yielded the pennant
to the Northern neighbors after three
straight defeats. The third game was
played on Sunday, and while there
may be some doubt as to the fairness
of the umpire's decisions, the game
was awarded to the Racine team by a
score of 5 to 8. 1t was the same old
story. Kenosha's~ players became
awed by the roofing, bowling mass at
Racine and the umpire had little the
better of the Racine end. In the earIy
stages of the game it looked as if the
Kenosha team had finally struck its
gait and would land its first victory
over the Racine team, but, alas! for
the hopes of the Kenosha 'fans." The
usual balloon ascension came in the
third inning and when the Kenosha
boys came back to earth three hits.
daring stolen base and a decision by
Umpire Peakins, which was exceed
ingly shady, had given the Racine
team runs enough to win.
The remainder of the game was of
little interest. In the first two innings
the Kenosha team showed some of
their old time form and lined out three
runs, but when their lead was over
come by Racine they seemed to have
lost their ability to hit the ball and the
remainder of the game was a series of
of ''goose eggs" in which there was no
partiality, each taking six of them.
Hug was in the box for Kenosha and
pitched a splendid game, letting the
Racine batters down with six hits.
Murphy was effective for Racine, but
the Kenosha players managed to Sc
cure eight hits off his delivery. The
following was the score and summary

The Manila American evidently be-
lieves that what is sauce for the goose
should be sauce for the gander. An
editorial in copy of the paper just re-
ceived in Washington, commenting on
"the warlike conditions in the United
States Senate" has created consider
able amusement in official circles. The
American says:
"It is time to call a halt. The Civil
Service Commission or the strenuous
President should get busy. The hon
orable Senator from Texas has taken
the honorable Senator from Indiana by
the throat and is choking him. The
exact details are lacking. Having
been so long in this blessed and peace
full and well-ruled part of the United
States, we don't know what has hap
pened. Steps should be taken to stop
these disgracefu1 instructions in the
United States Senate. The District of
Columbia should return to military
rule"

IN his first speech Of his New Eng
land tour President Roosevelt showed
what has already been accomplished
in establishing peace and order in our
insular possessions, ard announced
that the policy which has been SO con-
spicuously successful in Porto Rico
would be continued in Cuba and the
Philippines. President Roosevelt said:
'.Porto Rico, it is pleasure to say,
may now serve as an example of the
best methods Of administering our in
su1ar possessions. So excellent have
been the effects of our administration
and legislation concerning this island
that their very excellence has resulted
in their being almost forgotten at
home.
I'm making appointments to the in
su1ar service it is necessary to dis
regard any question of mere party ex-
pediency and to look at the matter
solely from the standpoint ofathe honor
of our own nation and of the welfare of
the island itself. This has been the
standpoint adhered to in selecting the
men who represent our government in
Porto Rico-governor treasurer, attor-
ney general, judges, superintendent of
education-every one. In consequence
all Americans should feel real pride
in the way in which their compatriots
who are responsible for the govern-

SIN Cuba the problem was larger,
more complicated and more difficult.
Here, again, we kept our promise abb
solutely. After having delivered the
island from its oppressors we refused
to turn it loose ofhand, with the GER
tainty that it would sink into chaos
and sdvagery. For over three years
we administered it on plane higher
than it had ever reached during the
four centuries since the Spaniard first
landed upon its shore. We brought
moral and physical cleanliness into
the government. We stamped out ye1s
low fever-in itself an inestimab1e
service both to the Cuban people and
to the people of our southern states.
We esta blished a school system. We
made life and property secure, SO that
industry could again begin to thrive.
Then when we had laid deep and broad
the foundations upon which civil lit
erty and national independence must
rest we turned the island over to the
hands of those whom the people had
chosen as the founders of the new re-
public.

great republic must ever be closely
knit by the ties of common interests
and common aspirations.

lated to us IL international politics.
She must in international affairs be to
a degree part of our political system.

think wisest both for her and us. In

PREs1pRNr RoosRyRLr is said to be

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is said to be
heartily in favor of making a change
in the delegations from Southern
States in National Conventions. The
present plan Of apportioning delegates
to the National Convention upon a
population basis instead of upon the
number of Republican votes cast at
the preceding general election gives
the Southern Republicans altogether
too much power. In many Of the
Southern States the party organiza-
ton exists only for the purpose of
sending delegates to the National Con-
ventions and controlling federal pat
ronage. The Milwaukee Sentinel, in
discussing this question, gives some
figures which show the necessity Of a
change better than columns of argu-
ment. It says:
SIN many of the Southern States
amendments to the constitutions have
been passed which disfranchise the
negroes. In Alabama, for instance,
the complete registration of all white
citizens is approximately $4,000, and
the number of negroes less than $500.
So far as the negro vote is concerned,
it has been practically eliminated as a
political factor throughout the South.
Alabama, with total registration of
$4,000 voters, is entitled to twenty-five
delegates to the National Convention,
or only four less than Wisconsin, a
sure Republican State. In Alabama a
total of 26,O25 Republican votes were
cast in the entire State at the last
Congressional elections. In some of
the districts no Republican candidates
we're nominated; and still. Alabama
has but four less delegates to the Ma
tional Convention than Wisconsin,
with a total of 251,544 Republican
votes"

when the new bridge is opened. This
IS possibly way out of the difficulty.

used exclusively and that the people
using it were forced to pay for it at all
times of the day or night.

If the coal strike is settled soon the
price of coal at lake ports the coming
winter may not be much above what it
was last year. If the mines are oper-
ated before the season for lake ship
ments closes and the coal can be
shipped by water, there will be no
startling increase in the price in this
city. The prospects for an early break
or settlement of the strike are not
much better now than when the
trouble first commenced, and if the
present situation continues much long
er the results will be serious.

The Richmond Conservator says:
"The old hitchracks, which have occu-
pied a place around the public square
for the past half century or more, were
torn down this week and moved to
North Thornton street. The grading
and paving of the public square made
it necessary to remove the hitcbracks
and it is probable that they will never
be put back on the square, at least a
large number of people are hoping that
they will not be-. OF course the hitch
racks in their former location were
quite a to people from the
country, but with horses and vehicles
hitched about the square there was not
sufficient room for travel, and the
streets we're always In a filthy condi-
ton. BY the time the improvements,
which have already been begun, are
completed, we believe the people will
see the improperly of again erecting
hitchracks OF the square, and that all
will be satisfied with allowing them to
remain where they now stand.n We
congratulate the Conservator and the
good people of Richmond, and we hope
that some sweet day we will be able to
announce that "the old hitchracks
which have occupied a place around
our public square for the past fifty
years have been removed" to n vacant
lot on a side street.
