THE Dane County Board of Super
visors has refused to pay the deputies
appointed for the state convention on
the ground that many of the men
chosen were more likely to break the
peace than to preserve it. There has
been considerable criticism through
out the state of the men appointed to
serve in the convention, and the Half
Breed press has not been backward in
defending the Governors selections,
but the action of the Dane County
Board settles the question at least as
far as that county is concerned. The
Supervisors knew the character and
reputation of the men they were ex-
pected to pay.

THE charge made by the La Toilette
leaders that political pull will in-
huence the national committee in de-
Gliding which set of delegates from
Wisconsin shall be admitted to the
national convention of the party, is
naturally resented by Republicans
everywhere. The committee will rem
der a decision under the party law
governing these cases, on the evi-
dence presented, and there has been
no disposition manifested by any Of
the committee men to dodge the res.
possibility, either.

Joke Proved To Be Fatal

Mount Holly, N. j., June 15.--Frank
Reinecke, aged 16 years, was killed by
his father while trying to play joke
on the latter. Young Reinecke hid in
the bushes along the highway, near
Riverside, and ashis father approached
the boy jumped out, expecting to scare
him. The elder Reinecke drew knife
and plunged it into the lads heart, kill
ing him almost instantly. Reinecke
thought he was about to be attacked
by a highwayman The father is al
most insane from grief.

THE size of the harvest evidently
has nothing to do with"the price of
ice. In these days there is no con-
nection whatever between the two.
The ice crop last winter was excep-
tiona11y large, and was harvested
under the most favorable conditions
and the consumer naturally expected
to share in the benefits, but he will
not. What the students of economics
are fond of referring to as natural
1aws-those of supply and demand
are not going to apply in this case.
The supply is large and the demand
nothing extraordinary, but prices are
not going to fall as result. The ice
barons have made a new law to fit
these needs the more ice the more
you pay for it. Like their brothers OF
the coal ring, they are going to
charge all that the public will stand,
and as most people regard ice as a
necessity instead of luxury, the IL
legitimate profits of the industry are
going to be something enormous this
year. The ice companies distribute
considerable money in Kenosha
county every winter, but they gen
orally manage to get it all back and
more during the summer.

THE opening of the Iroquois theatre
as a vaudeville theatre is nothing
less than sacri1ege, and the enter
prise should end in we'll merited fail
ure. The promoters might at least
have waited until the last victim of
the disaster had been buried. The
brutal disregard of the feelings of
those who lost relatives and friends
in the fire is astonishing, and it is
doubtful if any other city in the world
would have permitted the theatre to
open. Chicago has broken many rec
ords but no city will envy her the
doubtful distinction of having been
able to forget the greatest and most
inexcusab1e disaster of modern times
in six months,

THE long continued efforts of the
various patriotic societies to secure a
special observance of alag day, y
have at last been measurab1y success
full and all over the country, and espe-
cia1ly in the schools, the story of the
national emblem and what it stands
for, is being reto1d. The flag is the
outward and visible sign of civil and
religious liberty. It stands for the
high ideals and patriotic se1f-sacrifce
which made the nation great and the
proper observance of flag day will
teach the lesson that above and be-
yond all the fret and worry of the
national life, the strivings of ambi-
tious men for place and power and
political preferment, is the one and
only aim for which all patriotic Amer
leans are working-the advancement
of the nation.

SOME work is being done on the
roads in the county in the usual de-
sultory fashion without any general
plan which would make the work OF
permanent value to the county as a
whole. Some day it will be conclu-
sive1y demonstrated in Kenosha
county what handsome dividends
good roads pay on the money invested
and then we will all regret the amount
of money spent annually in making
these temporary repairs.

The insect pests which ruined sc
many shade trees last summer have
made their appearance again, and
from present indications they will be
more numerous than ever and dc
greater damage. The hard winter
does not seem to have effected them a
particle and if the trees, which are
the one beauty of the city, are to be
preserved, all property owners will
have to commence a war of extermin-
alton against the pests and.keep it up
all summer. 1t is not a pleasant
prospect but the work will have to be
done unless the people are content to
let the trees be destroyed by whole
sale

UNLESS Kenosha has changed for
the worse in the last few years the
beautiful trees which shade the city
are monuments to the untiring per-
severance and patience of the pio-
neers. If the vanda1s who infest the
city were as active in the early days
as they are now it must have been
considerable of a struggle to preserve
so many trees from their depreda-
tons. Nowadays any attempt to beau
tify the city by setting out shade
trees and Towering shrubs is regard
ed by these gentry as personal af-
front, and the work of the property
owners who take interest enough in
the future of the city to do this work,
is destroyed as soon as the owners
back is turned.

EM1ssARIEs of the Chicago book
makers and sports have been doing a
good deal of quiet work in this county
in the last few weeks in the endeavor
to ascertain how the authorities of the
county and the people would receive
a proposition to establish race track
in Kenosha county just over the Il1i-
nois line. The stand taken against
betting by the Illinois authorities has
evidently been foreseen by the sports,
and they have been quietly looking
around for a place to ''do business
until the storm blows over in Chicago
and they are allowed to operate in
peace at home again. According to
the best information obtainab1e, it
would be the "Idea1" race track
scheme over again, although possibly
on somewhat more elaborate scale.
Up to date the would-be promoters
have not met with much encourage
ment. In the language of the ring,
the Kenosha county people do not
seem to be inclined to 'sstand for','
anything of the kind.
