DON'T WANT FRILLS.
State Supt. Carey Makes a Plea
for the Old Time Thorough
ness in Schools.
TELLS TEACHERS SOME FACTS
From Fridays Daily.

State uperintendent of Schools C.
2. Carey has been in town for the past
few days attending the institute at
the College of Commerce, and during
his visit he took occasion to lay down
the law to the teachers in regard to
the methods of teaching that are be-
ing employed in different parts of the
state. The state superintendent did
not make a very long address to the
institute, but it is not probable that the
teachers will soon forget what he said.
His speech was plea for little of
the old time thoroughness in school
teaching and he insisted that the
time had come when the fri11s of
school teaching were no longer a
necessity, and that it was time that
the teachers returned to the old time
methods and gave the students in the
district schools some wholesome in
struction in common school branches.
He spoke especially of the work of
teaching English grammar, reading,
arithmetic and spelling. and intima-
ted that with the modern methods
these old time studies would soon be
classed among the lost arts. Super
intendent Carey touched responsive
chord among the school patrons of the
county and they will be pleased to
see his instructions carried out to the
letter.
1t is safe to say that during the
coming school year the teachers in
Kenosha county, at least, will give
great deal more time to the common
branches and allow the new ''fri11s, Z
as the state official terms them, to be
left for the teachers in the city.
The state uperintendent has re-
turned to Madison, but it is possible
that he will pay another visit to the
Kenosha institute before it closes on
next Saturday evening.

nees were named on the informal bal
lot and there was no fighting for
places.
Walter Britton, who was nomina ted
for member of the assembly, is a
cracking good fellow and is one of
the polishers at the Simmons factory
He mingled in politics enough to be
nominated for justice of the peace at
the time of the last city election. He
is an orator and well posted in the
Social Democrat Ritual.
Lyman Larrabee, the nominee for
sheriff, is farmer residing in the
town of Bristol. He is well known
and was the leader of the Popu1ist
movement in the county in the cam
paign of 1896.
The other candidates are all en-
ployes of the factories in Kenosha and
are well known among the working
classes.
Louie Steiner, one of the faithful,
showed his true Interpretation of the
motto ''Not 1ookin for Office" by de-
Ginning to accept a nomination for
clerk of the court. He said, however,
that he would be in line a couple of
years later.
The ticket is perhaps as strong as
could be selected from the little band
of Socialists in the county, but if it
polls 800 votes at the election it's
strength will have been underestima-
ted by the leaders in the campaign.
The convention was simply one of the
amusing incidents of a big campaign
but it had no political significance.
Before the convention closed, in
keeping with former conventions, the
candidates were all ordered to file
designations before their names are
placed on the ballot.

JOHN MITCHELL, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
the most noted champion of the cause
of labor in the United States, has given
Golfers Weekly his views on strikes
and the 1aw1essness which usually &C
companies them. He says: "Can
strikes be conducted without violence?
Can they succeed when not accom-
panied by 1aw1essness? To both of
these questions I would answer posi-
lively, Yes. If believed otherwise
l should abandon the trade-union
movement forthwith. AS a matter of
fact, the great majority of strikes are
inaugurated and fought out without
one single act of violence, and when
violence is resorted to in a strike the
newspaper reports of it are always
grossly exaggerated My experience
has been that the commission of crime
on the part of strikers or their friends
reduces the chances of success. A
strike or any considerable magnitude
cannot we'll succeed unless it have
the sympathy and support of the gen.
era1 public, and when strike resolves
itself into an armed conflict the public
very properly withdraws it's sym
pathy. That employers of labor un-
derstand full we'll the injury to strik-
ers which follows violence is shown
by the fact that not infrequent1y dur
ing labor disturbances thugs are en-
ployed to provoke strikers into the
commission of some unlawful act. If
strikes cannot succeed except by vio-
lence, then they should not succeed at
all. The law must be upheld. Law
lessness should be condemned and is
condemned by trades-unionists as well
as by all other good citizens.

GETTING LICENSES.
Forty Taken Out so Far-Season Opens

Forty Taken Out so Far-Season Opens
September /.
County Clerk William Crosby re-
ports that many hunters are already
taking out licenses. Up to this morn
ing the total number was few over
forty, equal to the figure of last year
for the corresponding time. When
the season for open hunting approach
ed in 1908 the licenses went out very
slow and it was feared they would fall
far short of the previous year, but
when the books closed there we're just
nine hundred and twenty recorded.
The season opens on September 1st.
Fifty thousand licenses have been
sent out by the state fish and game
warden. The color of the resident
license this year is yellow. On the
back of each is printed the dates of
the open season for game and also
fish laws which requires that all per-
sons who start fires in the woods must
extinguish them.

BRYAN's Commoner is going after
Cleveland again this week and talks
about his "b1ighting" endorsement
of Candidate Parker. The sage of
Princeton may now feel called upon
to again give a few reasons why he
regards the complete abandonment of
Mr.. Bryan and his doctrines by his
party as evidence of return to san
ity" by the Democracy. If Candidate
Parker wants the harmony orchestra
to keep in tune he will have to make
Cleveland and Bryan toss up to see
which of them is to keep still.

TIE leaders of the Social Demo-
cratic party are hopeful as ever that
they will be able to poll an increased
vote at the fall election, but the lead
ers of the olderparties believe that the
vote of the party will be about the
same as it was at the municipal cleo
ton this spring. The Social Demo
Gratis have little strength in the
county, and the nomination of a full
county ticket will have little effect on
the vote outside the city.

IT would be unreasonable to sup
pose that the wild cat insurance pol
icies brought to light recently by the
attempts of the insured to collect on
them we're the only two written in
Kenosha before the wild cat business
came under the ban of the United
States postal authorities, but no
others have been reported. The other
holders of worthless policies are either
too ignorant to understand that they
have been defrauded or too chagrined
to own up to the fact. 1t IS probable
that a great majority of the holders
of these wild cat policies have decided
to lose the premiums paid the fraudu-
lent companies and say nothing about
it. Most of them are so ashamed of
having been taken in by such trans
parent fraud that they would be will
ing to lose much more than the prem
iums rather their admit that they had
been victimized.

dairy butter, and it brought US ST., 700,
or an average of over SO cents per
pound.
That beats Creamery prices. No
wonder we are having prosperity"
If we go on at that rate we may give
up the creameries altogether.
But, here, Mr.. County Clerk, can
you tell us where we can get those
prices? I have done a little IN that
business myself and never yet got
more than 80 cents.

THE good roads resolution to be
presented to the legislature by the
Wisconsin Postmasters' Association
will favor change in the system for
the raising of funds for the building
and maintenance of roads and will ask
for the enactment of a law providing
for an expert road commissioner in
each county. The agitation of the
good roads question by the postmast-
ers is expected to have great influence
in pushing the movement, as the farm
ers are much in favor of the extension
of the rural free delivery system, and
the postmasters are in a position to
show them that the further extension
of the free delivery depends upon the
Improvement of the highways.

that it is almost impossible for car

George Baker, arrested in Cor1iss a

Miss Augusta Hoegsted, of Salem,
appeared in Justice Sturges' court
this morning for a hearing, but the
complaining witness was not in court,

September 10. In the meantime the
litigation will probably be stopped by
marriage of the complaining witness

this morning that he was perfectly

GOOD CROP, BIG PRICES.
Cabbage Growers Preparing to Store
Large Amounts.

During the coming fail and winte
it is expected the cabbage business
will be large in Kenosha county, es-
pecial1y in the northern part. Reports
from the big belt indicate that a great
deal of the crop is rotting, but not
withstanding the yield promises to be
ample to supply the trade, which is
extensive. The growers are prepar-
ing to store enormous amounts and
the sauerkraut output may be more ex-
tensive than in previous years. I'm
mense cabbage storehouses have been
built and others are to go up.
Today a contract was awarded to
Andrew Kappe1 Of Racine for the cree
ton of one of the largest store houses
ever built in the county. 1t is fora.
L. Curtis, owner of a large farm
north of the city. The building will
be of brick, 45x1OO and cost between
$4,000 and $4,000. It will be modern
and have the very latest venti1ators
and other appliances for preserving
cabbage.

for his extravaganza in offering
this year two shows instead of
one at the fair grounds for the
same admission price as last year.
Secretary Wirick, believing in
the principle of giving people
more than they pay for in the
amusement line, has actually con-
tracted for the appearance in con-
nection with the fair Of gigan-
tic street fair and carnival COM

Mitchell Used to be Knocked.

Woonsocket Herald, Mitchell
is now doing to the country west
of the river what she was ceusur-
ing others for doing to her section
fifteen years ago. It Is the his
tory of every new country that
people living just OF from the
frontier must knock the unsettled
portion beyond. Lands in this
section that a few years ago were
in the great American desert are
now making their owners rich,
and we believe that it is only a
question of time until the section
of country west of the river is
we'll settled and as valuable as IN
the country that was the frontier
twenty years ago.
