THE National Business League has
begun the agitation in favor of con-
stitutiona1 amendment providing for
six year presidential term, without
reelection, and the delegates to the
National Republican convention will
be sounded as to their views on the
question. It is argued that such
change would have a tendency to de-
crease public unrest with it's accom-
panying bad effect upon business. and
that both capital and labor would be
benefited. The proposed amend
ment undoubtedly has many advan-
tages to recommend it but it will take
the promoters of the movement many
years to overcome the deep-rooted
objection among the people to any
tanpering with the constitution.

MANY STEAL WATER.
Superintendent OF The Ken0sha Water
Works Taking Steps to Collect
for Street Sprinkling.
WATER SHUT OFF AT The CURB,

Superintendent Moth, of the Keno
osha Water Company has been kept
busy today sending out notices to
users of the city water who have been
pur1oining water from the city in
order to revive the dying lawns. Re-
ports of violations of the company's
rules have come in from all parts of
the city and it is stated that the COM
pany is losing quite a little water on
account Of the fact that the sprink1ers
have been kept running over time.
The bills which were made out some
time ago, call for payments forsslawn
spr1nkling, but many of the custom
ers have called at the office of the
company and insisted that they did
not desire 20 use the water in this
way and that they were unwilling to
be charged with it. Notwithstanding
these protests it is claimed that many
of the customers are using the water
and general order has been issued
to provide for the collection of all of
these bills.
allowed are also being disregarded
and not few people in the city have
been found running the lawn sprink-
lers all day long. In order to accom-
nodate such people the company has
established meter rate for such uses
and meters will be put in on request.
The hours for sprinkling are from
5 to 8 a. m. and from to 5 o. m.
| These hours have been arranged at
the time when there is the least de-
mand for water in the big industrial
plants in the city.
The bills for water this year are be-
ing paid more promptly than in former
years and there will be little left I'M
paid by the end of this week.
| It is just as we'll to mention that the
Kenosha company is supplying water
cheaper than any company in the
state, and the people should not OBJ
ject to pay the small sum demanded
for sprink1ing purposes.

THE Milwaukee branch, of the Anti
Cigarette League has secured the
conviction of eleven dealers in that
city for selling cigarette paper or to-
bacco to minors, and heavy fines were
assessed against them. The league
has commenced it's fight against the
cigarette in the right way. A few
convictions and fines will do more to
convince the dealers that the business
of selling to minors should be stopped
than ali the statistics and preaching
in the world. When the business be-
comes Improbable it will be stopped,
and not before. The fight inaugu-
rated by the league will be long and
hard one, for the dealers will be
backed by the tobacco trust, and the
trust will not submit to any curtailing
of it's profits without exhausting
every means in its power to prevent
it. But if the league keeps a close
watch for violations of the law in
every city where it has a branch and
is as successful in securing convic-
tions as it was in Milwaukee, it can
make things very interesting and ex-
pensive even for such a money power
as the tobacco trust

done By expert actnaries and that the
kind of men needed to conduct such
an examination could not be secured
for any less money. In the examina-
ton of Insurance Commissioners Host
at Milwaukee the other day, it de-
ve1oped that some of the men en-
p1oyed by the state and also paid by
the Prudential could hardly be called
experts, and the facts developed at
the examination of the Commissioner
put the department under his charge
in very unfavorab1e light before the
people of the State. One case which
came out at the examination will
serve to show in measure on what
grounds the Prudential bases it's
claim that it was overcharged.N A
man who had previously been en-
p1oyed as a bookkeeper in Madison,
where high salaries are not the rule,
lwas given position in the insurance
commissioners department at a sal
airy of 500 per month, which was, in
all probability, more than he had ever
received previously and about all his
services were worth. When it was
decided to examine" the Prudential
this man was sent on to New York to
help IN the work, and he was per-
mitted to charge and the company
was compelled to pay him for his
services or else have it's license to do
business in Wisconsin revoked, at the
rate of ten dollars a day and expenses.
No wonder the company wants it's
money back! This may be good poll
tics, but the people Of the state and
the 10000 policy holders of the Pru-
dental will hardly approve of such
methods of doing business, and the
next legislature will be asked to take.
such action as will prevent this kind
of work for the future in Wisconsin.

THE panic among the promoters
and proprietors of the alleged fake"
insurance companies, following the
arrest of two of the leaders in the
business at the instance of the United
States postal authorities, shows that
these gentry have a most wholesome
respect for the strong arm of the fed
era1 law. In fact, the interference of
the postal authorities is about ali the
wildcat managers had to fear. In a
good many instances it has not been
difficult to reach the officials in
some of the states who were disposed
to make themselves too obnoxious to
the wildcat concerns, and even if the
officials did their duty and instituted
proceedings against the managers, the
penalties provided under the laws of
most of the states are ridicu1ous1y in
adequate. About all the managers
had to fear was a fine, and the bust
ness is SO profitable that they could
pay fine every day. The Interior
ence of the federal authorities in the
matter, however, has so scared some
of the men implicated that they are
ready to tell all they know about the
inner workings of the alleged fraudu-
lent concerns, and it is probable that
enough information will be secured
before the federal authorities drop
the cases to break up the business.

THE more the Prudential insurance
company investigation" is looked
into the more remarkable it seems
that the company submitted so long
as it did to the demands made upon it
by the state insurance commissioners
office. It is wonder that the COM

money paid for 'fees and expenses
long before the amount paid reached
$21, 900. The excuse offered by the

A RACE track owned and operated
by Chicago bookmakers would GER
tain1y take more money out of the
county than it brought in even if a
way could be found to charge the pro-
prietors a good stiff license fee. This
being the case it is little difficult to
see what permanent benefit the county
could derive from such a scheme.
