High School Speakers do Well in Dis
trict Contest at Racine on
Friday Evening.
RACINE MAN WINS FIRST PLACE.
Harold Harvey of Racine. Francis Curtis and
Miss Irene LilIey of Kenosha Awarded
the Honors of the Contest.

Harold Harvey of Racine will be the
first representative of the Racine
Kenosha- Sheboygan district in the
District Dec1amatory contest to be
held in Madison in May. Francis
Curtis of Kenosha won the second hon
ors in the contest and will also be
sent to the District Contest. Miss
Irene Li11ey Of Kenosha won the third
honors in the contest.
While the decision was with the
Racine High School the stories told
seem to indicate that the Kenosha
speakers had the Racineites beaten
something like city block but like
in horse race it was the decision of
the judges that counts and Racine was
a proud victor over her old rival.
Kenosha was very much in evidence
at the contest and the hundred and
fifty rooters that went up from this
city furnished ali the enthusiasm that
was displayed during the evening.
The bunch from Kenosha was placed
in one Of the obscure corners of the
room but it was impossible to muzz1e
their enthusiasm and every speaker
from this city was greeted with such
a round of cheers that it made the
Racine contestants look decidedly
cheap.
The judges in the contest were J..
M. Mitchell, c. II. Sears and Pauline
Weis, all of the Milwaukee Normal
School and they should be competent
to judge of the work of the speakers.
q Harold Harvey who was awarded
the first honors in the contest dec1aim-
ed the famous Emmett Speech" He
did exceedingly well but it was very
noticeable that he repeatedly was
mixed in his defamation and several
parts of it were repeated. The real
stars of the contest according to the
reports were Miss Li11ey, Frances
lection of either of these contestants
would have been more to the liking of
the crowd at the contest.
Mr.. Rowan read in very fine man
ner the old story Of "The Victor of
Marengo." Miss Li11ey was the first
on the program and her defamation
of the ''Death Disk" by Twain was
one of the features of the program.
The defamation by which Frances
Curtis won first place among the Ke-
nosha speakers was "The Battle of
Waterloo" by Schmidt. George Gibbs
and Joseph Mathews the other two
representatives of the Kenosha school
did exceedingly well.
The Kenosha students and teachers
claim that the Racine people were un-
animous in awarding the palm to Ke-
nosha but the Judges decided differ
entity and the Racine people accepted
the victory with becoming grace.

BONDS FOR NEW YORK
President Arnold OF the Kenosha EIec-
trio Railway Company Goes East
to Sell New Bond Issue.
EXTENSIONS TO BE MADE SOON

President B. J. Arnold of the Keno
sha Electric Railway company, left
this afternoon for New York and car
ried with him the new bond issue Of
the Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany. The President expects to be
able to dispose of the bond issue to
Eastern capitalists, and if his quest
in the East is successful it will mean
much for the future of the Kenosha
railway. There is little doubt but
that the bonds will find ready mar
ket, as the success of the road during
the first year will make it promising
proposition for investors.
Should Eastern capital become DOM
inant in the control of the road, it is
probable that the extensions planned
for this summer will be started at
once, and the managers of the COM
pany in Kenosha are already making
plans for the changes that will neces-
sarily follow. 1t has been limited that
the sale of the new bond issue will
practically take the road out of the
control of Mr.. Arnold, but this is
denied by people interested in the
company. Mr.. Arnold at the time of
the building of the road had planned
that it should be operated by others,
as his time was employed with greater
enterprises, and it is possible that
this change in the ownership of the
bonds is simply the forerunner of a
change Of ownership.
Mr.. Arnold has made decided hit
with the people of Kenosha, and many
of them are 1oath to see the manage
ment pass into the hands of others.
The extensions planned for this
sumner include loop to the South
eastern part of the city and another
loop to the city cemetery.

CULINARY CAPERS.

Chloride of soda will restore fish that
is not perfectly fresh.
1t is said that salt placed under bak-
ing tins in the oven will prevent their
contents from scorching on the bot
tom.
For making sandwiches bread baked
in large size paking powder cans will
be just the right size and free from
cruSts.
When cheese is too soft to CRATE and
no food chopper is included in the
kitchen furnishings, press the cheese
through a wire strainer with the back
Of a tablespoon.
Orange marmaIade is a proper ac-
compartment for roast duck. The do
nestle duck is indicated, Of course,
Some people serve with duck a rich
brown sauce, into which at the last
moment a tablespoonful of orange
marmalade has been stirred.
The marketman does not always
scale fish thoroughly. A cloth wrung
out Of cold water and dipped In corn
meal is excellent for removing the
last scraps Of scales. Rubbing ducks
and geese with cornmeal after pluck
ing them is also advised. The down
disappears like magic.

The Enforcement of the Law.

Justice David J. Brewer of the Unit
ed States supreme court does the coun-
try a real service in a recent lecture
in Chicago, in which he strongly urges
the vital Importance Of thorough and
scrupulous enforcement of the laws as
they stand ON the statute books. Much
the same thing has been said time and
again before, and the truth Of the
proposition is generally accepted. But
there always turks in the corner some
scoffer to praise things as they are'
or to tell us that people won't stand
for it." There are those in every COM
munity who are quick to sheer at the
fool reformer' or prate about fool
laws" until the firm conviction that
rigorous enforcement Of the law is the
only solid rock of good government be
comes half submerged in wave of
pessimistic despair.
Justice Brewer defines liberty as
1.-The right Of doing things which do
not interfere with the well being of
Others" and he shows how vitality i'm
portant the firm maintenance of GER
tain restrictive laws becomes under the
crowded conditions of city life. '"The
easy going, good natured public Off
cial," he says, who deliberately closes
his eyes to minor attractions Of munic-
ipal law which it is his duty to restrain
is one Of the most hurtful factors in
our municipal life"
Justice Brewer is by no means hope
less for the future. He says:
We may be thankful that growing
public sentiment is more and more IN
sisting on strict enforcement of all
laws, municipal as we'll as state ana ra-
tional. And we may also be thankful for
the bright examples which are furnished
by many In every station, from the low
est to the highest, Of rigorous insstence
on obedience to law, examples whose
healthful contagion will spread through
the country from ocean to ocean and
from the lakes to the gulf.
It may be set down as a truisn that
be who is not for the laws is against
them, and lie who would allow the
least of them to be disregarded strikes
a blow at all law 1t is to be hoped
that the healthful contagion which JUS
tice Brewer foresees will spread
throughout the land.

IT looks as if ali the work so far
done by the school board, in prepar-
ing plans and estimates for the new
Durkee school building, would have to
be done over again. The architect
who prepared the plans and the con-
tractors who bid for the work, are
about $4,000 apart on their estimates
of the cost of the proposed building,
and all the bids submitted to the
board at it's last meeting, run the cost
up to pretty close to $4,000, which is
altogether too high. New plans will
have to be made or the present plans
will have to be revised. Considerable
criticism was aroused when the board
first proposed to spend in the neigh
borhood of 5000 on ward school,
and any attempt to add anything like
$4,000 to the price will undoubtedly
be strenuous1y opposed by the tax
payers. Kenosha people have al
ways been proud of their public
school system, and they are willing to
pay anything in reason to maintain
it, but when the ward schools begin
to cost more than $4,000 apiece, it is
time to call halt. The board should
have some consideration for the tax
payers and, if possible, get the cost
of the new building under $50, 1000, in
stead of over that amount.

SCHOOL TEACHERS and others whose
duties bring them into intimate re1a-
tions with the rising generation in
Kenosha have noted a most crafty
ing decrease in the demand for the
blood and thunder "dime novels"
and nickel 1ibraries,'' recently. It is
the exception and not the rule as
formerly, to find the children reading
these hair raising tales. Not so long.
ago regular libraries of these books
were in circulation among the boys.
The books were passed along from
boy to boy and read by hundreds.
Now scarcely any Of them are in use.
The credit for this marvellous change
is due to the library and the teachers
in the public schools. The library
has always been more than willing to
extend the scope of its work to meet
the growing demand for juvenile
books and the teachers have carefully
fostered and encouraged the taste for
wholesome reading. If these two
influences, the. library and the teach
ers finally succeeded in weaving the
younger element from the dime novel
habit altogether, it will be i'm
possible to overestimate the value of
their 1abors. And what has already
been accomplished gives good reason
to believe that they may do it.

Revival Of Interest In Baseball.

Indications throughout the country
arc that the national game has taken
on new lease of life. Interest every
where is at fever heat. This happy
state Of affairs is undoubtedly due to
the absence Of chickering's among the
politicians Of the green diamond, who
have done much to tire the public in
the past. The people want playing
not palavering. Newspaper campaigns
never did and never will make the
turnstiles click. If the baseball dicta-
tors will continue to recognize this fact
they will receive larger dividends from
their investments, and the long suffer
ing patrons Of the game will rise and
call them blessed.
The opening Of the season has been
marked by unusual quiet in the rela-
tons OF the two controlling organiza-
tions, the National and American
leagues. Close followers Of the game
are at loss to account for the strange
sight Of the lion lying down with the
lamb
Of course we all know that the two.
major leagues have effected a compro
mise that makes possible the conduct
ing Of their business along lines of
seeming friendliness; but, as would
naturally be the case when great rival
interests are involved, an undercur-
rent Of enmity exists that sooner or
later must burst forth. In order to
save the cost of war and the conse
quent increase Of playing salaries, the
National and American leagues have
sidetracked serious differences for a
year, but that the millennium-like state
Of affairs will continue much longer not
even the most amicable magnates in
either organization are in a position to
state Just how, when and where the
cyclone of baseball differences will
again loosen its bonds 1t is difficult to
prophesy, but that little patches Of
blackness now peeping over the hori-
zon will develop into storm clouds ere
long is deemed certain by authoritative
speakers on the subject.
At all events, we may look for a
season of unusual spirit and activity
in the great national game in which
all true Americans take pride and in
terest.

To BE DONE IN 1904.
Electric Road Said to be Planning Com
plotting Gap This Year.

TheTribune said today:
A. G. Frost Co., are offering for
sale 100000 of the unso1d remainder
of the $4,000 600 S per cent gold bonds
of the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railroad company. These bonds are
authorized to be sold to GOVERNS per
cent of the cost of new extensions.
The company is preparing for active
construction work during the coming
summer. It has acquired practically
all its right of way through Beach,
Zion City, Camp Logan, Winthrop
Harbor and Kenosha, and it is ex-
pected the line through these places
will be completed by fall. The cleo
trio line between Kenosha and Mil
waukee is in operation, so that when
the new work is done the complete
electric route from Chicago to Mil
waukee will be fact.

Saw It Inherently Two Years Later.

She was greatly distressed.
II could have married an earl" she
said, ''if had had money. He was
very devoted to me for a while"
"Oh, well, there are other men,"
was the consoling reply.
Il know" she admitted, ''but an
earl! Think of it! An earl! I'm
sure I could have had him if it hadn't
been for that slump in papa's pet
stock. And that odious Kitty Jenkins
got him."
To years passed and they met again.
.'How about that earl?" was the
question naturally put to her
s''I've just returned from abroad,
where I visited Kitty at her country
place" she said "She's very brave
and patient"
''Is she?''
Eyes, indeed. And Go you know.

IT IS reported that the Buildings
and Grounds committee of the School
Board has definitely decided to report
in favor of going ahead with the con-
struction of the Durkee school build
ing according to the present plans,
which call for an expenditure of $780,
600. We hope that the report does the
committee an injustice, but if the
committee has so decided the saner
members of the board must find way
to stop such reckless and unneces-
sary expenditure. SIS, 900, the amount
the board originally intended to ex-
pend, would have been ample for a
suitable building for a ward school,;
$4,000 was considered somewhat ex-
travagant when the board first pro-
posed to spend that much. But $780,
900 is beyond all reason. The board
should have some consideration for
the tax payers. Nobody b1ames the
third ward members of the board for
getting all they can for their ward.
That is what they are there for. But
the other members of the board should
see to it that their demands are mod
Grated considerably.
