A Curious Phenomenon.

Quite a discussion arose on loop car yesterday morning as to why 1t is that. when the doors are open at both ends or the car and the car is in motion the breeze comes in from the rear. A man who is a close observer explains 1t thus;
 Tt is entirely due to the curved Vestl- bules in the front and rear of the car. The breeze striking the convex surface of the front vestibule is defleeted, ana instead of rushing in where the motor man stands, the tendency IS to produce a vacuum in the front vestibule because of the rapid motion of the air deflected.
 '"rhe rear vestibule end is curved the other way and the air is gathered by the concave side, and its only means of es- cape is through the rear door into the car. This produces the phenomenon Of a hreeze blowing through the car in the opposite direction to which the car is going. If any enc doesn't believe this Is so, let him try 1t with piece of paper. '

The Agricultural Editor.

F. s. White, agricultural editor of the Age-Herald and editor of the Southern Truckers Guide. who was recently ap- pointed to a responsible position in the agricultural department of the Frisco system, is now permanently located, with office and headquarters at Springfield, Mo. Mr White is a recognized authority on agricultural subjects and it will be of interest to the public to know that his valuable artices in the Age-Herald will not be discontinued, but will appear every week as heretofore. Concerning his new duties MT. White writes from Fort Scott Ark:
 My work for the Frisco has been defi- nitely settled upon and you can now give the public an intelligent outline of the same. The work will consist largely in editorial, agricultural and horticultural lectures among the farmers along the entire system of the Frisco. We wish to encourage the growing of a large line of crops, vegetables and fruits, as well as poultry and stock generally.
 T have just arranged to have my head quarters at Springfield, Mo, but my family will remain in Birmingham, as my work will be mostly out on the line

Old Plan to Secure the Building oil
an insane Hospital In This County
Is Again Revived.
COUNTY HAS MANY DEPENDENTS.
Fifty People Are Now Being Supported in
the Different Asylums In the State
Cost SO, 900 Yearly to the County.

Several members of the County
Board of Supervisors have again taken
up the discussion of plan to secure
the erection of hospital for the in
sane in this county and it is probable
that in few weeks request will be
sent to the State Board of Control
asking for permission to bring the
matter before the County Board.
The county officials have no power to
erect an asylum for the care of the in
sane unless the action is sanctioned by
the state board. Many of the mem bers
of new asylum would be saving of
large amount of money to the people
of the county.
The records of the county show that
at the present time the county is car
ing for fifty insane people in the DIFF
ferent asylums in the state and that
for each patient the county is paying
the sum of $1.50 per week.
The reports show that there are
is at the Northern Hospital at Winnie
bago, 10 at the Racine Hospital, z at
the Washington County Hospital, II at
the Walworth County Hospital and 9
are on parole. The number of insane
people is increasing in the county
rather than diminishing and for this
reason it is necessary that some steps
be taken to find home for them.
The insane asylum at Racine, which
has always been considered as the
home of the Kenosha dependents, is
now pretty we'll filled up and notwith-
standing the fact that an addition to
the institution was recent1v built it
will be on short time until the Keno
sha patients will have to be removed
from the Racine Hospital to make
room for the insane from that county.
The total cost for the care for the in
sanesto the county annually is $4,000.
Of course part of this is paid by the
friends of the patients, but large
portion is paid by the county. With a
hospital here in Kenosha some of this
expense could be saved and beside this
fact many insane from other counties
will be brought here and an asylum
could be madesself- sustaining in a few
years.
Two years ago an effort was made 10
have the county build an asylum, but
at that time the State Board of Control
refused to give consent to the matter.

ASKS FOR MORE PAY.
Clerks In the Post Office Expect to Get an
Increase In Pay Soon.

Increase In Pay Soon.
Capt. Charles Frantz has sent a
communication to the Post Office De-
partment asking that the salaries of
all the clerks employed in the Kenosha
Post Office be raised hundred dollars
year, the raise in pay to take effect
with the opening of the new year on
July 1st. There is little doubt but
that the increase will be allowed, as
the department has in the last few
days raised the pay of clerks IN nearly
every city in this section of the State.
The Postmaster is also making an ef-
fort to secure an increase in the force
of clerks employed in the Kenosha
Office. The Racine Office has been
granted an increase of three clerks,
Notwithstanding the factsthat in the
past year the receipts of the Office
showed decrease of more than $50, 900
from the year previous. The annual
report of the Kenosha Office will show
that the volume of business done this
year is greater than ever before and
Kenosha will compare favorab1y with
Racine, and in fact with any other city
in the State outside of Milwaukee and
Superior.
The Kenosha Office is one OF the
busiest in the State and the depart
ment is rapidly being brought to see
that there are demands which must be
filled. The Postmaster is still urging
a new building for the Post Office IN
Kenosha and it is probable that this
matter will be brought before Congress
at its next session.

The Republican party IN this State
is irretrievab1y committed to the pri-
mary election principle, and it will
probably be better for the party in the
long run if the Senate passes the pri-
mary election bill ia substantially the
shape in which it came from the AS
semb1y. The sooner the dose is ad-
ministered, the sooner the party will
recover from the disease. A couple of
years trial of the law will convince
the voters that primary election is not
the sure cure for all the ills of the body
polite that it is said to be, and the
party will be more unitedly in favor of
the repeal of the law than it has ever
been for it's passage. The ambitious
men of little or no wealth whose
''rights" the bill is said to protect"
will be the very first to call for its re-
peal. The expenses of all candidates
will be enormously increased under the
law, ana the poor man will have to
stand aside IN favor of the man better
equipped with funds to make the neces-
sary canvass before the primaries ar
held The Senate will do we'll to ex-
anime the bill carefully, however, and
go over it section by section, before
passing it. This is the most import
ant measure that has been before the
Legislature in decade, and although
a servile and obsequious Assembly saw
fit to pass a measure changing the
whole electoral system of the State,
without debate or any attempt to as
certain the probable effect of some of
its provisions, the Senate will be for.
given if it refuses to go it blind like
the Assembly, and takes little time
to debate the bill. If the bill is the
marvel it is said to be little scrutiny
will not hurt It any.

THERE is no politics in corruption.
Men Of every shade of political opinion
have occasionally turned out to be
cortuptionists and proved recreant to
the trust placed in them by the voters.
A party, therefore, which has had the
misfortune to have some of it's repre-
sentatives go wrong, while not entirely
blameless, cannot be made to take the
whole res possibility for the acts of it's
representatives until after an oppor-
tunity has been given it to remedy the
mistake made in selecting unworthy
men for Office by nominating good
men to take their places. If party,
however, persists in nominating men
for Office whose misconduct has been
exposed, it sets the seal of approval
upon their acts aud serves notice to the
voters that the party assumes all re-
sponsibility for them. The Demo
cratic party has an opportunity this
spring to deal with two of it's represen-
tatives whose official acts have not
been above suspicion. If the party
avails itself of the opportunity to
quietly turn down these men in it's own
caucuses and dominates good men in
their places, it will prove the truth of
the assertion so often made that the
presence of these men as the party's
re representatives in the Council is its
misfortune, not it's fault. If the Dem
ocratic party places these men in NOM
ination, however, it assumes full re-
sponsibi1ity for them and for all their
official acts, and it will have to go be-
fore the people asking support for men
whose bad records are known to every
man, woman and child in the city.
