T. ]. MEYERS possessed to peculiar
extent those qualities of head and
heart which endeared him to all sorts
and conditions of men and his sudden
and tragic death is distinct shock to
the whole community. He was one of
''the squarest" that ever walked the
streets of Kenosha; always ready to
lend helping hand to the unfortunate
and without trace of hypocrisy in
his makeup. Kenosha could have
better spared many another man than
"Ted" Meyers.

AS was expected the Naval Board
appointed to examine the sites offered
by various cities for naval training
school on the great lakes recommended
one in Congressman Foss' district. AS
Lake Bluff has no harbor facilities at
all and the land offered there is held at
an exorbitant price the board threw
in few alternative selections for good
measure. The selection of a site for
the school bids fair to lead to one of
the liveliest fights that Congress has
seen in years and it is quite proba-
BILE that before the matter is finally
settled the recommendation of the
naval board will be lost sight of al
together.

If Kenosha is to follow the lead of
other cities and pass an ordinance abb
solutely forbidding the sale of toy pis-
tolls the matter should be attended to
before the merchants place their orders
for Fourth of July goods. Then there
will be no chance for any dealer to
complain that the ordinance works an
Injustice by forbidding the sale of
goods already bought and paid for.

Philadelphia, Feb. li.-Before an au-
dience that filled every inch OF space
In the United States Circuit Court room
President George +. Baer OF the Read
ing company made his closing argu-
ment for the coal operators before the
strike commission Thursday. and Clar-
ence s. Darrow. chief counsel for the
miners. began the summing up for the
men.
Mr.. Baer gave I comprehensive ac-
count of the difficulties and the expense
entailed In the production of anthra-
cite coal. Concerning the wages. he ex-
pressed the belief that the evidence on
the wage question justiiies the position
OF the operators.
Continuing. he said:
"First-The testimony clearly shows
that the wages now paid are fair: that
they compare most favorably with the
general wages OF the country. and
that men willing TO work honestly and
exert themselves do earn annually
sums In excess OF the average.
"Second-The fact that there Is an
excess OF labor In the anthracite re-
gions confirms our theory that the
wages arc already high as compared
with the general wage scale OF the
country. because everyone knows that
labor Is attracted TO the place where
wages are highest.
'-Third-lf the wages are again ad-
yanced. then. instead OF diminishing
the existing excess OF workmen. 1t will
be increased by new workmen comins
to this field. Something has been said
about the operators Importing foreign
ers. never heard OF IL. These for
eIsners come here because OF the re-
ports OF the men already here OF the
Improved conditions and they will con-
tInue to come so long as such eSccp'
tional advantages are offered.
'.Thc demand for an clsht-hour day
Is only another form OF increasing the
cos, OF production. II must be appar-
ent to every one that restricting break
or operations to eight hours day
must necessarily limit the output OF the
coilicry and to that extent must no,
only decrcas. the wage fund payable
To the miners. but II Will decrease the
ssppiy to the public and tend TO In
crease the price OF coal"
