A CERTAIN clique of the Democrats
is concentrating every effort on beat
ing Gus Jacob. They are offering to
trade any and every man on the ticket
for vote against him, and there is no
low down lie they will not tell against
him to influence voters. Fortunately
this crowd has no influence with the
better element of the party, and there
are enough fair-n1inded Democrats
who can see through the machina-
tons of the gang to elect Jacob. AS
one prominent Democrat, man who
has led his party to victory in the
past, puts it, ga man can't be all
good on our ticket and all bad when
he goes on the other side. The gang
would have defeated Jacob for the
nomination on our ticket and l am
glad to have chance to vote for him
on the Republican ticket. He is the
best City Clerk Kenosha ever had,
and am going to do all lean to help
retain his services for the city"

SOME criticism has been made of the
practice of the Council e1ecting the
city engineer at the last meeting be-
fore a new Council is chosen instead
of leaving the choice to the new mem
bers of that body. If the Office is
merely political one, there may be
some grounds for complaint. If the
city is to be run on the principle that
''to the victors belong the spoi1s'' the
winners in the election should have
the privilege of handing out the Office
to one of the faithful. If, however,
the engineer is to be selected on
merit and for the reason that he pos
sesses the ability to perform the
duties required of him, then the old
Council is better qualified to judge of
the merits of the applicants for the
position. Half of the aldermen have
had two years and the others one
year to judge of the work of the en-
| gineer and to learn what kind of a
man the city needs in the position.
| The old members of the Council know
what the city requires of it's engineer
and for that reason are better able to
select the right man for the place
than the new1yse1ected members who
know nothing of thes duties of the
position.

THE Caster case promises to furn-
ish an illustration of one of the worst
defects of the present jury system.
Think of the long and weary hunt the
court will have to find men who have
formed no opinion of the case or have
not even heard of it. And then think
of the grade of intelligence of man
who has no opinion of his own in a
matter which so vitality affects him
personally, or who has been asleep SO
long that he has not heard of case
which even the children in the street
have discussed and argued over for
two years.

ABOUT once year when the appor-
tionment of the tax levy between the
city and county is made, the makeup
of the Board of Supervisors becomes a
matter of absorbing interest to the
tax payers of Kenosha. Then is the
time we need men with backbone
enough to stand up for the city.
Vietch, Charles, Jordan, Becker,
B1oxdorf, Ho1derness, Stoebig and
Stein, the Republican nominees for
supervisors, are all men who can be
depended upon to look after the city's
interests.

GEORGE HARRINGTON, the Demo
cratic candidate for City Clerk, has
sold his saloon. That is, he has
transferred it to his barkeeper, SO
that he will not have to come out
seeking votes for an important city
Office as a saloon keeper. He thinks
it would hurt his chances in the cleo
ton, with some of the voters at least,
to own saloon while candidate,
and it probably would. Also, it would
be expensive to be the proprietor of a
saloon during the campaign. The
place would be entirely too handy for
the thirsty multitude of his support
ers.

THE Doodle trial now going on in
the circuit court is forcib1e reminder
to the voters to select their represen-
tatives in the council carefully. The
candidates for aldermen on the repub-
hcan ticket--Trenary, Goodman,
Hegeman, Head, Leonard, Westeen,
Buchanan and Stevens-are all above
suspicion and the voters of the city
can cast their ballots for these men
with perfect confidence that the city
will never be betrayed by them.

Hearst's sentiments, Hearst would
make better candidate for the Social
lists than for the Democrats.

LOUIS X. LUsE might we'll be loved
for the enemies he has made, and his
election to the Supreme Court would
be merited rebuke to the men who
are trying to drag the Judicial ern1ine
in the mire of politics. AS for his op-
ponent, Mr.. Kerwin, it is nothing
against him with regard to his quail
fcations for the office that he is a
corporation lawyer. The corpora
tons are not in the habit of hiring
the poorest attorneys. to handle their
cases in court. But the fact that he
has never seen fit to repudiate the
promises, made by his friends in his
name, that he, would be right" if
certain questions came before the
court when he is a Judge, ought to be
enough to disqua1ify him for a place
on the bench.

Root Crops for Pigs.

1t has been demonstrated that seven
or eight pounds of mangelS have as
great feeding value as one pound Of
grain when given TO pigs or hogs, aud
that sugar bcetS have even greater
value, SO it is hard to understand why
pig raisers are so careless about grow
Ing root crops for lneir animals Not
only have the root crops n high feed
ing value but they do more for the
good health OF the hogs than one can
estimate. In regard to their feeding
value it has been demonstrated time

the point when home consumption is
becoming annually greater in proper

ductiou. As n matter Of fact, wheat
production is decreasing over there as
the land becomes more valuable and
by reason of the demand for other
forms OF produce for home cousunp-
ton. 1t is said that the wheat crop
this year is not more than - per cont
of the crop Of 1901 and much below

Many pretty good farmcr7 lose
money every year by allowing the rain
to wash ont the substance of their nay
crops Most of the valuable parts Of
hay are easily washed out by rain.
This is made clear by taking a wisp OF
hay. placing it In n bucket and pouring
boiling water over it. The result is
n brown fluid which has received the
name of hay tea Cold water will cX-
tract the juices In a similar manner if
n little more time is allowed. This,
then is what takes place when half

get the hay in such form that on the
appearance Of rain it may rapidly be

safe. Assuming that the work is car
ried on rs far as possible by machin-
cry, the first operation is to horserake
the hay into rows, and the tedder
should be set TO work along the rows
SO as to throw them ont into beds
about four yards wide. From time to
