W1rH a 1audab1e desire to add an
other attraction to the Kilkenny cat
show, which is shortly to open IN
Madison, the esteemed Evening Wis
consin attempts to give Congressman
Cooper bunch to get into the sena-
toria1 fight and stay there to the fin
ish. The E. w. makes a couple of
trifing errors, however. In the first
place it refers to the distinguished
representative of this district as
"A1fred." 1t may be permissible for
great paper to rechristen its cham
pions on the eve of battle, but if the
practice becomes general it will be
little hard on the distinguished gen.
t1emen who have striven so Justify
stthat their names may live little
longer in the mouths of men," Sec
ond1y, the men most familiar with
Mr.. Cooper's career, and who know
with what unseenly vigor and forget
fu1ness of self he throws himself into
contest, smile Deh1nd tne1I hdHus
when they try to realize what ter
rife shock there is going to be when
our "A1fy" and the governor come
into collision. The following is the
gem from the Wisconsin:
''A1fred A. Cooper, who has been a
member of congress from the Racine
district for the past eight years, is
now a pronounced candidate for the
senatorship to succeed Senator
Ouar1es. Mr.. Cooper is so resolute in
this matter that he has opened head
quarters at Madison in the Park ho-
tel. He thinks that Gov. LaF o1lette's
peculiar methods before election in
duced him to become candidate, and
now he is naturally inclined not to
withdraw when his gubernatoria1
chief announces that he himself may
be candidate. Representive Cooper
considers there is no obligation on hts
part to withdraw in behalf of LaFol-
lette. This action of Cooper is likely
to cause a collision between these two
distinguished Republicans.

Sisters of St. Mary Give Their
Annual Christmas Tree
for Poor Ofthe City
10 CHILDREN MADE Happy.
Members of the Sewing Circle Receive
Many Gifts at the Annual CeIebra-
ton at Kemper Hall on Tuesday
Night.-Many are Present.

sButsthe greatest of these is char
lty." The sisters of ST. Mary gave
the annual entertainment for the
poor of the city at the Simmons gym
nas1um. last night and seventy-fiye of
the little children of the CITY and their
parents were made happy. 1t was a
repetition of the pretty little Christ
mas service that has been held at the
hail IN other years, with few new
features and few new faces of happy
children gathered around the Christ
mas tree. In every way it was the
Joll1est remembrance of the Yu1e tide
in Kenosha and it was the one that
showed most clearly the Christmas
spirit OF good will to men.
For several years the Sisters of St.
Mary have had a little sewing circle
at the hall and this Christmas enter
tainment is the gift of the sisters to
the members of this little band of
workers. When it was organized some
ten years ago there were less than a
half dozen of the children and their
parents to care for but now the mem
bership has grown until it embraces
more than three score and it includes
a large.proportion of the real needy
poor in Kenosha.
In keeping with the scustom estab-
lished by the sisters the children and
the parents gathered at St. Peters
chapel at z O'Clock and Christmas SER
vice was held under the direction of
the Rev. Mr.. kMaryon, the rector of
the church. The annual address was
delivered by thes%sRev. C. L. Mallory
OF st. Matthew's, .church. After the
service at the chape1.was over the
sisters led the march to the gymnasium
while dozen of the Kemper Hall
girls, who are spending the holidays
at the school, sang Christmas carols.
The gymnasium was ab1aze with
light and IN the middle of the stage
was Christmas tree which was re-
splendent in its decorations of candles
and gifts.
There was gift for every one of
the members of the merry party.
There were dolls for the little girls,
s1eds and skates for the boys, while
the mothers were remembered with a
gift of warm dresses and blankets for
the homes.
The men IN the families were not
forgotten, and there was wealth of
gloves and neckties, while some of
the older members of the party re-
ceived warm shoes and clothing.
After the gifts had been taken
from the tree the members of the
gathering were each given an orange
and a pretty package of candy and
nuts. Following the distribution of
gifts, carols were sung by chorus
composed of three of the Sisters, Mrs.
James Cavanagh, and Mr.. Anderson.
This annual treat to the poor child
rem of Kenosha is given by the Sisters
of st. Mary, who bear all the expense
of the affair.

AN effective law against the men
who rent their property for illegal
and immoral purposes is one of there
forms needed in Kenosha. Such
law would enable the police to clean
out some of the breeding places OF
vice and crime, against whose in
mates it is almost impossible to OBJ
tain any direct evidence, although the
police are morally certain that the
gangs which meet in these joints
gather together for no Legitimate pur-
pose.

COOPER FIGHT ON.

Seeks to Collect Big Claims.

Creditors of Black Cat Garter Company
Seeks to Collect Big Claims.
In the county court this morning
hearing was held on the claim of the
Dry Goods Reporter company of Chi
cago, against the estate of the late
Willis w. Cooper. The Chicago com
pany claims the sum of S., 900 and in
terest, which it alleges is due on ac-
count of notes signed by the Black
Cat Garter company and endorsed by
Mr.. Cooper. The claim is the first of
series of claims and it is said that
should all of these claims be allowed
the total will amount to more than
$4,000. The attorneys for the execu-
tor of the estate have protested
against the admission of the claims
on the ground that the time for fling
claims against the estate has long
since passed. The court took the
matter under advisement and will
render decision on the matter some
time next week.

THE Improvement of the highways
of the county is one of the subjects
that should be discussed at the COM
ing farmers institute. The towns IN
this county spend enough money on
the roads, but for lack of intelligent
direction and cooperation between
the different towns most of the money
is practically wasted. It is time that
the farmers got together and devised
some way to get the worth of the
money put into road Improvement.

A NUMBER of young fellows ia this
CITY seem to have solved the problem
of living without work, but the ways
and means by which they manage to
do it are not above suspicion, and the
order of the mayor to the police to in
vestigate the men who have been
hanging around town without visible
means of support is the first step in
the process of Kidding the city of these
undesirable characters. Men who
can work and won't work are not
wanted here, and the sooner the po-
lice convince them of this fact the
better.

THE next Legislature should fix the
amount Of the bond to be required by
the state treasurer and designate the
repositories of the state funds. It
ought to be put out of the power Of
one state official to defeat the will of

for another to qualify. The people
presumably knew what they were
about when they elected Kempf.

IN spite of repeated warnings peo-
pie will persist in sending money
through the mails. Occasionally
some of it goes astray, as is only to be
expected, but the amount lost or sto-
len in transit is only very small pro-
portion of the amount handled by the
the department.. The United States
postal service is as safe as any IN the
world, but it slips cog once in
while, and people who send coin and
bills in letters should remember that
they do it in defiance of the express
orders of the government and at their
own risk.
