Racine Journal States That There is no
Doubt That Racine Can Beat Kenosha.
The defeat of the strong Woodstock
team Sunday by the Kenoshas proves
that Breen's aggregation is entitled
to some attention. So far no games
have been arranged with Kenosha by
the local management. Racin- has a
team at present, which can and does
play good ball. The error1ess game
OF yesterday, in a high wind and
under unfavorab1e conditions, proves
this. A series of two games with
Kenosha for Sunday and Monday.
July 3 and 4, would undoubtedly draw
as large crowds as did the we'll re-
memoered game between the two
teams when Joss pitched for Racine,
and the great Wadde11 for Southport.
With two teams of such undoubted
merit within ten miles of each other.
1t would seem that the fans should be
entitled to witness a contest which
would decide the supremacy.
There is an element in this city who
delight in knocking all local enter
prises. This element sent ND
mournfu1 howl before the game
against Wadde1l. 1t has been pron1i-
nent on other occasions. At the pres
ent time it is wasting many words ex-
planning that Racine is afraid to p1av
Kenosha. Any fair minded follower
of base ball will acknowledge that
this is not true. So far there has
been no cause for a game between
the two teams. But by July 4th both
teams should be playing as good ball
as they will at any time during the
summer. Both will have tried and
tested men in every position. Such
series would mean more to base ball
in this city than the defeat of dozens
of teams from further away by both
teams.
There is no doubt but that Racine
would win both contests. Not basing
this statement on form alone, nor on
the makeup of the teams, but on two
facts; that Kenosha has never yet de-
feated Racine, and that taken as a
whole, and 'man for man, the local
team can play as good game, if not
better one, than Breen's men, both
ii the field and at bat.
The announcement that such
series was being arranged would
make big hit with the fans of this
city, and with thousands of others,
who do not attend more than three or
tour games throughout the SUMNER
Racine Journal.

THE farmers are in for an interest
ing winter this year as the Free Ii.
brary Commission of the, state is
planning to send out books this fall
for the farmers to read during the
winter. The books will be called fol-
next spring. The farmer of Wiscon-
sin has no reason to object to his lot.
With his mail delivered at his door
and all his friends within call by tele-
phone and library being brought to
him he ought to be willing to stick to
the farm house for ali time.

Alderman Head Would Convert Unused
Grounds into Roadway.
Alderman Dan Head, the represen-
tative from the Fourth ward, who is
the chairman of the committee in
charge of the cemetery of the city, is
devising scheme for the identifying
of the City cemetery, and if the city
will allow the carrying out of the
plans, some of the unused portions of
the cemetery will be made into a
beautiful roadway.
Adjoining the new Lake View GENE
terry the city has a track six feet in
width which is absolutely worthless
for cemetery purposes. Superinten-
dent Jackson, of the Lake View GENE
terry, has agreed to dedicate a strip of
Of land twelve feet in width and the
two pieces of ground will furnish
room for the opening of a splendid
roadway between the two cemeteries.
The plan will probably be carried out
in the near future.

SUES ON AUCTION BID.
John L. Becker Figures In Justice Court as

John L. Becker Figures in Justice Court as
aSecond David Harum."
John L. Becker, farmer of Pleas
ant Prairie, has started a suit in Jus
tice Sturges' court to force James
Fi1bin to pay him the sum of fifty-fve
dollars, which he alleges is due to
him on account of an auction bid.
Fi1bin on the other hand accused
Becker of being a second "David
Harum," and claims that the horse
which was sold was not worth any
thing, and for this reason he refused
to accept the property and pay the
amount agreed upon.
The horse was a fine looking ami
NAL and was sold at the Stah1 auction
a week ago. Fi1bin thought that he
had secured a prize, but when a boy
had ridden the horse for couple of
blocks Fi1bin claims that he discov-
cred the horse to be so wind broken as
to make him useless. The case will
be tried later in the week.

REASONS By FORMER FRIEND.

THERE were strong reasons why
Mr.. La Toilette should have stepped
aside at the end of his second term.
Had he been in earnest in his advo-
cacy of reform he would have done so,
but his gyrations and evo1utions to
keep himself in office have been posi-
lively sickening. He made canvass
of the state which was unprecedented
in political history, using every game
warden, oil inspector, state official
and clerk to secure the nomination.
In one county, no less than fifteen of
these men, non-residents, visited
every town in the county previous to
the caucuses, trying to elect La Fol
1ette delegates, and drawing pay from
the state all the time. La Toilette
himself left his Office in the capitol
and went into the canvass personally,
making speeches at ward caucuses
and travelling from one end Of the
state to the other. When the conven-
ton met a majority of the delegates

THE indications are that the tie-up
OF lake traffic is about over. In this
as in every other strike, it would have
been infinitely better for both sides if
wiser counse1s had prevailed and the
trouble been avoided. Thousands of
employees have lost large part of
the seasons wages and the reduction
in rates made by the railroads has di-
verted much of the carrying business
which properly belongs to yesse1men
to other channels. The chances are
that considerable percentage of the
business will never, come back, so
that in addition to the usual strike
losses the vessel owners can charge
up the loss of future business.

Taylor to secure an agricultural
