THE Wisconsin Telephone Company
has flooded the city with booklet con-
tanning a very able argument against
the competing telephone line which It
is proposed to establish in the city.
All the arguments in the book. how
ever, are based on the superstition that
the Wisconsin company has been Civ
ing its patrons an adequate and reas-
onably prompt service, which is not
the case in Kenosha, whatever it may
have been in the cases of the cities
whose trials and trilou1ations with in
dependent lines are set forth at length
in the booklet If the company's posi-
ton were we'll taken and if they had
been furnishing even moderately
good service to the subscribers in this
city, we should be inclined to agree
with them that two telephone compan-
les operating independently in city
the fsize of Kenosha would be an
unmitigated nuisance and fruitful
source of annoyance and loss to the
business men. AS it is, however, with
the kind of service furnished by the
company and the price charged for it
considered, competing company could
hardly make matters worse and one
might make them good deal better.

AGAINST The PRIMARY BILL

Senator johnson Says That the Old Time
Caucus is Good Enough for Present.
1.-THE present system of naming cam
didates for Office by the caucus is good
enough, if the citizen will only do his
duty said Senator 0. w. Johnson, of
Racine, representative of this district
in the State Senate. "It all depends
on the citizen, and if he refuses to turn
out, do not see how any legislation is
going to help matters in any way.
''We can have good government and
can end political bossism if the aver
age man will only take little inter-
est. Those who howl most about po-
1itical corruption are generally those
who stay at home when they have a
chance to exert their franchise. There
is going to be much difference of opin-
ion when the matter of primary e1ec-
ton bill comes up in the Legislature,
and cannot venture to predict
whether such bill will pass
"The report of the Tax Commission
was undoubtedly big disappointment
to some,' said Mr.. Johnson, who in
timated, though not saying so directly,
that it was bitter pill for the Gov
ernor. II do not see how we can do
otherwise than accept their findings as
of great weight, in our future deliber-
atoms, in view of the fact that the
Commission is composed of careful
men, who have made deep study of
the question, and who have gathered
indubitable statistics to substantiate
their findings.
Personally, am not in favor of
taxing credits. I do not think it is a
sound financial policy.
"My time thus far at Madison has
been spent mostly in getting used to
my surroundings. l am new at the
political game, and wish to know
where / am at"

HOSE TOWER NEEDED.
Firemen Are Demanding Some New Method
for Drying Hose After Fires.

Firemen Are Demanding Some New Method
for Drying Hose After Fires.
The Kenosha fire department is sadly
in need of a house that can be used for
drying the hose after FIRE. At the
present time there is bsolutely no pro-
vision made for the drying of the hose
and it is all sent to the North side en-
CINE house and hung up on the side of
the building During the winter
months it is impossible to dry the hose
in this manner. Often times the hose
is frozen and when it is'taken down it
is broken, thus making it valuable only
for mental duty, such as flushing
sewers. The tower would be an ex-
pense to the city as it would have to be
fitted up for drying purposes with sal
amanders. AT present quite little of
the hose is receiving harsh treatment
on account of the fact that there is no
building in which it can be dried.
After the fire of Wednesday morning
the hose had to be hung up for two
days and it was hardly fit for use when
the department was called out Thurs
day night.

Interesting Exercises are Held at the
Weiskopf School in Honor OF
the Dedication.
CAREER OF DR.. ANTON WEIsKOPF
G. f. Stemm Pays Deserved Tribute to
the Memory OF One of Kenosha's
Pioneer Citizens.
(From Fridays Daily !.

The new Weiskopf school, the last
of the beautiful school buildings
erected during the last few years in
| kenosha, was dedicated with appro-
pirate ceremonies this afternoon and a
large number of the patrons of the
school gathered at the building to
attend the exercises marking the for.
NAL opening of the school. The peo-
pie of the North side take great pride
in the new building, and well they
may, for it is by all measures the
finest grade building in the city.
In honor of the dedication the school
rooms were decorated with flags and
bunting, and the auditorium, in which
the dedicatory services were held, was
resplendent in decorations of flags
and plants.
The representative citizens of the
North side turned out en- masse to
attend the event and many patrons of
education from the south side of the
city were present. The members of
the Board of Education were nearly all
there and with them came number of
the city officials.
The program opened with short
address by Frank eraser, president of
the Board of Education, who on behalf
Of the board formally turned the new
building over to the school patrons of
the district. This was followed by a
song by the Seventh and Eighth grade
pupils from different parts OF the city,
after which the "Swing Song" from
Lohr was given by mum Der of young
ladies selected from the High School
chorus, and the Sabelwitz Glee Club of
the High school rendered my Heart Is
in the Highlands
The address of the day was delivered
by c. F. Stemm, one of the best known
residents of the North side, who spoke
especially Of the life of Dr. Anton
Weiskopf, whose name has been given
to the new building. In speaking of
DR.. Weiskopf Mr.. Stemm paid a feel
ing tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased pioneer. He spoke of his
acquaintance with the doctor, which
covered period of more than forty
years. He spoke of his work ia Keno.
sha as friend of educa tion-of the
broad education of the doctor and his
never failing interest in the better
ment of the schools of the city. He
showed that this influence had been
potent one and had done much to ad-
vance the moral and educational inter
ests of the north side of the city and
had even been felt in other parts of
the city. In concluding he spoke of the
pride the people of the North side took
in the new building and the new
impetus that had been given to educa.
ton by it's erection.
The speech was very interesting
one and was listened to with marked
attention by the large company.
After the address of the afternoon
the girls from the High School chorus
rendered another selection and the
afternoon closed with solo by Mrs
w. FL. Hammill. The building is al
ready in use and nearly every room is
filled with contented pupils.

EF serious accidents are to be avoided
the police will have to enforce the or
dinances of the city and require all
bicycles to carry lights and to keep off
the sidewalk. Approaching that the
bicycles are a great convenience to
many of the workers in the factories
whose homes are long distances from
their work, the people in general have
been disposed to be generous and to
extend every courtesy possible to the
riders, permitting them to use the
sidewalks when the streets are so wet
and muddy as to be unsafe. To the
credit of the riders who are compelled
to use the walks in certain parts of the
city, it may be said that most OF them
appreciate the fact that they are per-
mitted to use the walks only by the
courtesy of the pedestrians and have
been very careful to give them no
grounds for complaint. A certain few
of the riders, however, seem to think
that the fact that no arrests have been
made recently for riding on the walks
gives them the right to undisputed
possession of all the sidewalks of the
city. These public nuisances claim
the right Of way on all occasions.
They make practice of "scorchinp''
whenever possible and it is against
these gentry that the complaints are
beginning to come in again. It seems
pity that these riders who have de-
cent regard for the lights of others
should have to suffer equally with
those who have none, but it is impossi-
BILE to draw the line in case of this
Kind and the police will have to en-
force the ordinance against all alike.
1t would seem that all bicyclists would
be willing to carry lights for their own
protection, and a number of them do
so, but when the evening rush from
the factories is on it is positively dan
gerous to cross any of the principal
streets of the city on account Of the
number of unlighted bicycles con-
stantly passing in every direction.
The wheels move so fast and so noise
lessly that unless the pedestrians are
constantly on the alert they are apt to
step out into the street directly ia
front of an onrushiug wheel. and sew.
eral accidents have been narrowly
averted lately.

BELDEN's TERM ETERNAL.
Circuit Judges Now In Office Can Stay as
Long as They Desire,

Circuit Judges Now In Office Can Stay as
Long as They Desire,
Unless the Legislature of Wisconsin,
now in session, by special act defines
the term in which the circuit judges
now in Office shall serve, Judge Belden
can stay in office indefinitely, for
Attorney General Studevant has dis
covered that the circuit judges of Wis
consin are serving without any definite
law as to the length of their terms.
When the constitution was amended in
1899 in order to increase the number of
circuits in Milwaukee county the
amendment was so worded that it left
the matter of terms to legislation. No
law was enacted fixing the terms of
circuit judges, and they are, therefore,
holding without any legal status as to
the length of their service.

THE American Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals will be
upheld by all right thinking people in
its effort to defeat a bill now before
the Senate extending the time animals
may be kept in confinement without
food and water. The present law was
passed N 1873 and provides that no
cattle shall be kept in cars ''for
longer period than twenty-eight con-
secutive hours without unloading the
same for rest, water and food for
period of at least five consecutive
hours.'' The amendment now pend
ing which is backed by the National
Livestock Association, proposes to ex-
tend the tine to forty hours Aside
from the inhuman cruelty of the prac-
tice proper regard for the sanitary
we'll being Of the people ought to de-
feat this bill. The meat of an animal
that has been kept over twenty-eight
hours without water, food or rest in
the swe1tering heat of the summer
season cannot be in a healthy condi-
ton for food and the eating of such
diseased meat must have consider
able effect on the health of the con-
sumner. The BILLS drawn solely in the
interests of the Association, which in
order to save a few dollars freight
charges is willing to ieopardize the
health of the consumers of meat all
over the country, and should be de-
feated.
