AN Associated Press dispatch

Wisconsin, as second-cIass mail matter.
AN Associated Press dispatch
says that Rus STA would perhaps
accept peace provided twas sug-
gested by Japan, and imposed
upon terms that were salts fac
tory. The way things are going
justnow the Gar ought not to
be too particular about technical
tiles. The Japs seem to be over
running the Russians wherever
they find them, and if the Gar
wants to get out with any hide at
all he better do a little begging
right away at the door of the
Mikado. Thesecret of thiswhole
war and it's disasters to the
Russians has been that she Japs

The internal troubles in Russia
continue, while in the war in the
far east the great Bear has been
licked at every turn. If Nicholas
: had the courage of a cat he WOULD
bring this butchery of his people
to an end, turn the aut0cracy of
his government upside down,
and give the people Of Russia a
chance for their lives and for
something like individual liberty
in government, buthe is a syco-
phanit non entity, and the sooner
the revolutionists string his hide
up with that OF Sergius and some
Othors the better It will be for
civilization, and Russia in par
ticular.
THERE has been a good sized
scrap on hand at Madison this
winter as to making the Milwau-
kee Free Press the official state
paper in place Of the State
Journal at Madison, and parti-
sans of both papers have been
pulling hard at all the strings
they could get out, While the
Free Press is about as cantanker-
Gus sheet as was ever publish
ed yet it must be SAID of it that
the paper is a representative
publication, while the State
Journal has perhaps never been
seen by one-tenth Of the people
north of Madison. IF there is
anything in the old saw that to
"the victors belong the spoils,
then the Free Press is certainly
entitled to become the official
organ of the great state Of Wis
consin. 1t, more than any other
onefactor, has been instruments
al in placing the political condi-
ton of the state where it is to-
day. The Free Press has been
powerful agency in winning
other peoples battles, and in all
justice and right it ought to have
this piece of political apap.
The TINES votes with the Free
Press.
The battle of Mnkden in which
the Russians have been com
pletely routed, was undoubted-
ly the bloodiest conflict in the
history Of the entire world, and
it is estimated that fully 25, 500
Russians were killed; 10000
We're taken prisoners, while co.
900 more were either killed or
wounded. OF the Japanese
the losses were 1900. The
Russians took to their heels and
succeeded in getting part OF
their forces irto Tie Pass, but
one third of the entire army was
wiped out, while the result of
the struggle is that Russia is
practically defeated in it's war
with the Japs. Such figures are
certainly startling in the face of

GEORGE w. CATE, the Stevens
Point attorney who died last
week, was known somewhat in
Bayfield, county. He assisted
the state in the prosecution OF A.
| c.. Probert, when the latter was
tried for EN- be zzlement and sent
enced to Waupnn, and those who
attended the trial were free to
admit that Mr.. Cate was 1.-THE
man who sent Mr.. Probert to
prison. He was formerly a
circuit Judge and mem Der Of
congress, but of late years de-
voted himself to his private
practice. He was counted as one
of the ablest lawyers in the en-.
tire northern part Of the state.
PERHAPS if the gentlemen who
ran the stalWart machine down
at Madison and Milwaukee last
summer would pay up some Of
the debts incurred in their be-
half by political com mittees
throughout the state they would
improve their moral standing
somewhat Ithas been time and
again suggested that 1.-The stall
warts had money to burn but
one thing is certain and that is
that they have left some of their
friends throughout the different
counties in the lurch for money
guaranteed for campaign pur-
poses.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
swooped down on Madison last
week, probably upon the invit la
ton Of Governor LaF'ollette, aud
made an address to the legisla-
ture, endorsing most fully and
emphatically the plans for rate
regulation made by the Governor.
And the railroad people are just
now calling Mr.. Bryan a "buttin-
ski" But William jennings or
Robert M. don't care fo- such
talk as thai, because they are so
used to having the railroads
criticise them that they grow fat
on the fault finding of these great
corporate institutions.
IT seems probable from the
latest information coming from
Madison that Cass Gilbert, the
New York architect, who was
selected to build the Wisconsin
capitol, will make a new set of
plans providing for a new capitol
to cost about three and half
millions of dollars, and that a
new building will be put up at
Madison, to cost not to exceed
the above amount. Now that is
sensible!

GUILTY. That is the verdict
against Mrs. Chadwick. Well
Cassie can truly feel that she
had mighty good time v lille

JOHN z. DEITz, the Sawyer
county outlaw, is still at liberty,
anG an attempt made by the
United States marshal to serve
papers upon him. resulted in
failure: The courts ought to get
few Of those Japs who are
cleaning out the Russians so
easily to go after the ssterror of

THERE is decided apathy in
the judicial contest for this cir
cult, and il is universally conced-
ed that the failure Of Judge
Parish's opponents in the con-
test to arouse any enthusiasm
will result in his re- ELECTION by
the largest majority ever given
him in this circuit.
The dear old city of Oshkosh
is wasting lot Of time crying
for a vote of the people upon the
question of removal of the capitol

THE Kenosha County Building and
Loan association has made it entirely
possible for any one in Kenosha to
own his own home, and it shows we'll
for the city that so many are taking
advantage of the exceptional oppor-
tunities for saving offered by the as
ISOLATION. The association is strictly
local affair, owned and differed by
Kenosha people, and the men who
have been in charge of its affairs for
the two and one-ha1f ysars of its ex-
istence can well be proud of the rec
ord made. The association is in fine
shape financially and in every other
way, and the signs are not lacking
that more and more people every day
are beginning to see the advantage of
a subscription to its stock.

GRONQUIST RETIREs
Well Known Kenosha Shoe Dealer
Gives Up Business After Many
Years of Active Life
SELLS TO ]. W. {. RODGERS

Charles J. Gronquist, the we'll
known Park street shoe dealer. is to
retire from active business, and today
announcement is made of the sale of
the Gronquist stock to j. W. E. Rod
gers, who has been connected with the
business for several years. Mr.. Gron-
quist will probably retire from active
business work.
The retiring shoe dealer has been in
business in.Kenosha for nearly twenty
years and has won high standing
with the people of the city and county.
During the years that he has been in
business in Kenosha Mr.. Gronquist
has taken ian active part in the affairs
of the county. He has held the Office
of county treasurer and has been an
active worker in the ranks of the Re-
publican party. When the Gronqu ist
store was started in 1885 it was one of
the smallest mercantile establish
ments in the city, but in the score of
years the business has grown to large
proportions.

six years. He is a practical shoe
man. After serving an apprentice
ship in Racine he came to Kenosha
and was employed for time at the
Lyman shoe store. When he resigned
his position at the Lyman shoe store
he accepted the position which he
has held ever since.

Jesusshad vision of the Kingdom of
God. His close fellowship with God
enabled him to see the things which
must come in human life. SO today
the call is upon those who would
actualize the life of Christ among men
to begin under the inspiration Of the
Christ spirit to outline pathway of
human advance into the Kingdom of
God on earth.
Fragmentary plans for advance are
springing up outside of religious in
1uence, and it is the duty of religious
faith toschoose between these and to
add what,may be needed Of. spirit and
wisdomss'in order that the kingdom
may come.
Progress in the past has largely
been blind drifting on through the
dark becauseGman did not dare to look
up and steersthe course by the divine
light inihis soul. But henceforth the
thinking power of the disciples of
Jesus must ibe largely given to the
elaboration Of rational and Christian
plans for the' advance of humanity
into the Kingdom of God. Mankind
possesses enough spower, intelligence
and material wealth to establish the
Kingdom of..God on earth and close up
the 1ongBchapter of human struggle
and pain, if it also possessed enough
of the sense of Godhood which Jesus
had and tangible outline by which
human evolution might move.
Much depends upon our ability to
answer this challenge of sthe life of
today. 1t is perfectly possible that
the Christ life may go into eclipse
and that spiritual values be lost sight
of. 1t istquite possible that the pro-
gress Of humanity may be put back
ward and the race sent into the will
derness for a discipline of forty years
multiplied many fold. But if those
who have faith in Jesus will accept
the call to live his life sincerely and
courageously, they may be the ones to.
bring in his day of triumph and the
rule of the Christ spirit of Love as
the God of the Universe

WE believe that the apprehensions
Of good many Of our people that the
entrance of the Allen company into
close relations with the trust marks
the beginning of the end of the leather
business in Kenosha are unfounded.
1t will probably result in more leather
being made here than ever. In its
battles with the trust, extending over
a period of years, the Allen firm DEM
onstrated its ability to manufacture
leather right here in Kenosha as cheap
or cheaper than any of its then COM
petitors in the trust, and since the
cost of production has been shown to
be as low here as anywhere, it is al
most certainty that the enormous in
vestment in buildings and equipment
in this city will never be abandoned;
no matter what combination has con-
troll of the leather business of the
country. Instead Of being abandoned
the Kenosha plant is more liable to be
the leading concern of the new or
ganization,

celebrate their diamond wedding an
niversary twenty-five years hence.

WITHOUT doubt some Of the other
big New York companies besides the
Equitable are in need of an investiga-
ton, and little Of the energy that is
being spent in damning the Equitable
might be sent their way with profit.
It is morally certain that many of the
practices which are so unsparing1y
condemned in the Equitable are COM
mon to most, if not all, of the big
companies, and in the hue and cry
after the Equitable the other compan-
les, which are equally guilty, should
not be forgotten. It is limited that
the Equitable is not the worst of the
lot by good deal.

INTERURBAN CAR MIXUP
Two Crews Required to Eject Passen-
gers Who Used Obscene Language


gers Who Used Obscene Language
Moggie Sorensen, conductor of the
interurban Milwaukee, Racine & Ke-
nosha electric car, due here at Obs
o'clock last night, got in n1ixup
with several passengers. AS result
obscene language was used, there was
a rough and tumble fight, the car was
one hour late and the Objectionable
passengers were put off the car at
Lakeside, it taking two crews to eject
them.
From passengers on the car it is
learned that the men boarded the car
when it went south for Central Park,
but in some manner were carried by
to Kenosha. They refused to pay fare
back and one of the number claimed
he had over-paid going south. Con-
ductor Sorensen insisted that they
pay and they refused. Language of a
broad nature was used and the car,
which was jammed and over crowded
with passengers, became in tumu1t.
The men refused to get off the car.
At Central Park there was a delay,
again farther north another delay,
and when Lakeside was reached the
row had reached its climax.
Here the car was held until the
south bound car came along. Then
there was consultation bstween the
crews and they tackled the objection
able young men and pulled them from
the car. In the mix-up Conductor
Sorensen was struck and the side of
his face bruised. He claimed he was
kicked by friends of the parties. Ra-

The new chemical engine in the
Third ward will considerably lessen
the danger of fire getting a big
start in the western part of the city.
Time is everything in fire fighting,
and until the new chemical was in
stalled there has always been the
chance that the department might be
held up some day at the railway
crossings by freight trains and be un-
able to respond promptly to an alarm.
The two or three minutes delay nee
essary to break train might mean
the total destruction of building.

at the corner of Market and Elk
change streets, while carrying two
buckets of boiling water up stairs
stumbled and fell. The entire con-

body literally cooking his arms and
legs. In removing his clothing great
quantities of skin were peeled off,
exposing the scared flesh. His condi-
ton is critical, DR.. Spalding was

skin grating may be found ecessary
to save the young mans life.

Factories in Kenosha Paid En-.
pIoyes Last Year the Sum of
S2,534,O00 in Wages
SIMMONS COMPANY IN LEAD
Chicago-Kenosha Hosiery Company is
in Second Place, While Thomas
B. Jeffery Company Comes
in the Third Place

Census Taker Frank J. eraser has
completed his work of making statis-
tics of the factories in Kenosha, and
his reports are on file with the county
clerk. These reports are of great in
terest to the people of Kenosha, in
that they show the large amount that
is being paid out annually to wage
earners in Kenosha. The reports are
based on the pay rolls of last year.,
and the total amount is shown to be
So, 534, O01.11. This includes only the
amount paid out by industrial plants,
and there must be added to this the
hundreds Of thousands of dollars that
are paid annually by other businesses
in the city.
The list of men employed in the
factories is not given in all cases, but
the Simmons Manufacturing COM
pany with 1850 men is in the lead.
The N. r. Allen company is second
with175O, and the Thomas B. JefferY
company third with 1888. v
Ia the amount of wages paid during
the past year the Simmons Manufac-
turing company takes the first place
with total of $725, 900, and the Chi
cago-Kenosha Hosiery company is
second with 1891, 1864. The Hosiery
company does not schedule the num-
Der of people employed in the plant,
but the number is said to be nearly as
large as the Simmons plant.
The Thomas B. Jeffery company is
third in the pay roll list and the Allen
company fourth. The figures show
that the smaller factories in Kenosha
have been growing very rapidly the
last few years.
The pay roll of the larger factories
in the city during the year just closed,
as shown by the returns of the census
taker is as follows:

JEFFRIS rs CANDIDATE
Will Oppose Congressman Cooper Next
Fall for the Nom ination

No matter how hot or cool the wealth
err, or how distant an election may be,
there is always more or less political
talk going on. The latest is the quiet
announcement that Congressman H.
A. Cooper is to have opposition in the
First district for the Republican
nomination, when the time comes
around to make nomination.
1t is quietly stated in inside circles
at Madison and GAINESVILLE that M. G.
Jeffris of GAINESVILLE, the we'll known
attorney and former Sta1wart leader,
has practically decided to become a
candidate for the nomination and that
his candidacy will soon be announced
and active work begun to secure the
nomination.

possible candidacy of Mr.. Jeffris says:

especially in stalwart circles, there
