CORPORATIONS which ask for street
railway franchises in Kenosha with
out making provision for an adequate
compensation for the city are wasting
time. They are entitled to no consid-
GRAFTON and will receive none. Other
cities are asking as high as Is per
cent of the gross earnings of corpora
tions using the streets, besides the
usual requirements in regard to paw
ing, cleaning and sprink1ing streets
occupied by the company, and the
corporations must expect to pay if
they get anything in Kenosha. II
the city had it all to do over again,
and if any one could have foreseen
the really remarkable business which
has been done by the Kenosha street
railway, that company would have
paid more for its franchise than it did,
and the city will hardly get caught
twice with the same game.

Country Life as a Brain Tonic


Half a century ago Ralph Waldo En-
erson, the great philosopher, talked to
Boston audience on Country Life"
At that date practically everybody
lived in the country, at least in sur
roundings which today would be called
rural by the denizens of cities. Mr..
Emerson's appeal was addressed es-
pecially to brain workers, or men Of
sedentary life, but at this stage Of So
cial development there is meat in it
worth recalling for the average man
and woman. He said.
When Nero advertised for a new luxury,
q walk in the woods should have been Of
fered. IT'S one Of the secrets for lodging
old age. Nature kills egotism and con-
ceit, deals strictly with US and gives san
ity, SO that 1t was the practice Of the
orientals especially of the Persians to let
insane persons wander at their own will
out Of the towns into the desert and, If
they liked, to associate with wild animals
In their belief, wild beasts especially ga
zelles, e9Ilect around an insane person
and live with him on friendly footing
The patient found something curative in
that intercourse by which he was quieted
and sometimes restored. But there are
more insane persons than are called so or
are under treatment in hospitals The
crowd In the cities, at the hotels, theaters,
card tables, the Spectators who rush for
investment at 10 per cent, % per cent
cent per cent, are all more or less mad;
these point the moral and persuade us to
seek IN the fields the health Of the mind.
Now and then city bred person
sneers at the country and If stranded
In the heart Of stretch Of nature I'M
spoiled by the acts Of man exclaims,
ooh, would go mad If compelled to
live in this out Of the way place." Ac-
cording to Emerson's keen diagnosis,
the mind so STEPPED In the city habit is
already mad.

late, and by way of preface apologized
for his hardness, his explanation be-

"When reached the door," said
Mr.. Stevens, Il was stopped by JEFF

was admitted except deaf and dumb
persons. told him that I was deaf

THE men now pouring into the
county for the ice harvest are no bet
ter and no worse than the gangs that
have come in other years. They will
bear watching, and the health officers
are seeing that they get it. It is too
much to hope that we will get through
the season without some kind OF a
contagious disease breaking out
among them, but with all the precau-
tions that are being taken it would be
almost impossible for any disease to
get away from the health officers and
spread through the county.

IF the Mayor and Chief Barr have
figured out way to utilize the fire
alarm boxes for police call system
they have provided for the greatest
need of the police department at
trifing expense to the city, The fire
alarm system is Of FIRST importance,
however, and the police calls must be
so arranged that there is no chance
for any rnixup in signals if the officers
are allowed to use the boxes. The
city cannot afford to lower the eff
cheney of the fire department to help
out the police.

WE would not go so far as to advo-
cate a vigilance committee to deal
with the local criminals who have
been making themselves so numerous
lately, bnt if the police and the new
plain clothes men are unable to deal
with the situation, a law and order
league might be able to handle it. The
present state Of affairs is into1erab1e,
and if the police are unable to
straighten things out so that a man
can leave his house empty for few
hours without finding his va1uab1es
gone on his return, the people may
have to take hold themselves and see
what they can do.

CHARLES E. McLENEGAN, the new
president of the State Teachers as
ISOLATION, recommends that sufficient
time be given to teach the essentials
reading, writing, spelling and arith-
metic-and that the enrichments
which are crowding teachers and pu-
pills be dropped until the schools gain
ground which has been lost" If he
had talked for hours he could not
have said anything more to the point,
and if he can impress his views upon
every teacher in the state it will be a
fortunate thing for the schools OF
Wisconsin. Mr.. McLenegan starts

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

On New Years day we all swear off,
No matter though the ladies scott.
No more for as the trimming wine
Or other follies in that line;
Down virtues path we gayly start
Perched high upon the water cart.
We see the folly of our ways
And swear that all our future days
Shall be on lines quite different cast
From those that marked our wabbly past /;
In fact, we rather think that we
May buy halo, c. o. d.
How virtuous is simple man
In contemplation! Then this plan
Moves forward without jar or hitch,
Avoiding every rut and ditch
He doesn't for moment think
He'll ever take another drink
All, well, 1t is a story DID,
About a week of it will hold
The average man who turns leaf:
Ere many days he comes to grief;
He throws the throttle open wide
And drinks enough to feaze the tide.
But though poor man does not make good,
It may as well be understood
That even trying helps bit,
For just single week Of it,
Though failing later, makes him leaxn,
And he has charity to burn.

Virtue In Prunes.
