A GREAT wall is going up from the
thousands of more or less Industrious
drawers of federal salaries over the
Presidents order amending the civil
service rules which gives the heads of
departments power to peremptorily
discharge any employee under him,
but it ought to result in wedding
out of good many lazy ard incom-
petent clerks in all of the depart
ments. We shall hear a good deal of
talk over the alleged notification"
Of the civil service, but the new order
should go long way towards. con-
vincing the employees of the depart
ments that they are expected to make
some sort of an adequate return in
service for the salaries they receive.

HOT SHOT FOR BEGGS
kenosha Citizen Adds to Com.
plants That Have Been Made
Against N. R. & K. Service
OPPOSITION WILL COUNT

The article in the News on Thurs
day speaking of the abuses practiced
by employees of the Milwaukee, Ra-
cine & kenosha Electric Railway
company seems to have struck a
sympathetic chord, as the following
interesting letter has been received
from one of the patrons of the COM
pany today:
Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 10, 1905.
Editor EVENING News:
have read with interest your ar
ticle IN your issue of this evening on
the short comings of the M. R. s. K.
electric road. Your criticism is mild,
indeed. 1t would take a column to
fifty characterize the management of
this road for its multiform defcien-
cies.
I register the prediction that if the
new electric line gives the service
contemplated, J. I. Beggs will not see
$500 week of Kenosha money. The
recollection of his abuses of manage
ment will under1ie this. His cars
reach Kenosha city north limit on the
hour and lie there forty-five minutes,
during which time his motormen and
conductors enjoy a long visit at the
the little station, undisturbed, APP
parently, by the reflection that in
forty-five minutes a good deal of
cleaning could be done, making the
cars less reproach to his system of
interurban transportation. The cars
are, indeed, dirty and sometimes, as
in times of slush, filthy.
To board one of the cars a patron
has to walk around the rear end of it
and step from the ground to the steps
of the PLATFORM feat taking some
agility, and exerting to the limit the
strength of some inva1ids who are
compelled to travel. IF the door was
opened at the rear end of the car on
the west one could ascend from the
plank platform. After the car started
the door would have to be closed and
this would probably overwork the
delicate conductor This is the
s'why" of the hourly recurring out
rage.
It's lucky for Kenosha that Beggs
didn't get If and operate our local
line. If his service here was no bet
ter than his M, R. & K. service.
Mayor German would hold him up
every day. OBSERVER.

our methods will be the same as those
used by the armies in other cities.
Our meeting will not be open only to
the poorer classes but the church
members will be just as welcome.
We do not expect all of the people
who come to our meetings to join the
army but we do hope to do al Of them
a little good.
The members of the corps in charge
of the work in Kenosha include Cap
tain Edward Addison, his wife Cap
tain Addison, Lieutenant Krnmpen
and Cadet Morrill,. Mrs. Addison has
been in the work for several years,
and has been most successful in sa-
loon work in Chicago. She has al
ready taken up this work in Kenosha.
A number Of the members of the
Gospel Mission have united with the
Salvation Army in the work, and it is
possible that in the near future, the
Gospel Mission, which has done such
a faithful work in Kenosha, will be
closed and the entire work turned
over to the army.

THERE is nothing that exercises
such Christening influence on a
transportation company as little
vigorous competition, and if the peo-
pie who have grievance against the
M. r. and x. can only wait until the
new Chicago and Milwaukee electric
road is completed they will get their
revenge. The employees of Mr..
Beggs' railroad will then be as meek
and humble and accommodating as
anybody could wish.

Passing Of the Boy Captain.

The promotion of Brigadier General
John r. Weston places upon the list Of
active major generals another veteran
who not only wore epaulets but com
manded troops on the battlefield in his
teens. Arthur Macarthur is already
there. General Weston was bora Nov
Is, 1916, and was lieutenant in the
Fourth Kentucky cavalry in 1861, when
he was barely sixteen years old. He
was not yet nineteen when he became
a major. Arthur Macarthur was a
lieutenant and flag hero when he was
seventeen years old and lieutenant
colonel commanding his regiment be-
fore he was twenty.
Records like those of Macarthur and
Weston were duplicated on both sides
in the civil war, but probably the Con-
federates had more boy captains in the
field than did their foes. 1t is claimed
that the south had a general at the age
of twenty and colonies and majors by
the score who were under eighteen.
They didn't always boss their superiors
in age, for the same authority says
that there were boys in the ranks at
the age of twelve. But future wars
will not bring out SO many boys in
epaulets. The military academy will
graduate the officers, and there will be
little chance Of cadet getting into
the field in bis teens. The future Off
Ger, whatever his origin, will be re-
CURED to know more Of the trade Of
soldier than any youth can master, and
SO the boy captain will soon become a
mere tradition.

Salvation Army Corps in Kenosha
to Open Reading Room for
Homeless Men in City
cHARITABL WORK TO FOLLOW
Army Work in Kenosha to be of Widest
Possible Scope.-Captain Addison
and Wife are Placed in Per-
manent Control

The new salvation corps which was
sent to Kenosha less than a month
ago is planning for wide scope of
work in Kenosha and within the next
few days the corps will make itself
more Of a factor in the life of the city
by the opening OF reading room for
the use of the men of the city. The
reading room will be located in the
front end Of the barracks of the army
IN the Monagan block on Market
street. The room will be separated
from the other portion of the hall and
it will be nicely arranged with tables
and chairs and the best literature of
the day will be placed there for the
disposalo of the visitors.
Captain Edward Addison, who has
been named as the permanent head of
the army in Kenosha when seen this
morning said: "Our reading room will
be for the overall and jumper man,
for the laborer and for the homeless
man on the street who has no place
to go on a winter evening. It will

well lighted and the man who comes
to visit it will have welcome as
broad as he would have in his own
home. We mean to make this read
ing room an attractive place for the
workmen who have neither papers nor
magazines and we are going to try
and throw about him the best possible
influences while he is visiting with
us. This is only one of our plans for
the winter as we plan to make
crusade for the best interests of
Kenosha. We shall make personal
visits to all parts Of the city seeking
out the poor and destitute and we will
do what we can to aid them. Our
working is starting out sp1endidly
here and while it is just barely
started it is certain that there will be
a large amount of work for us to do.
We shall aim to reach the people who
are not affiliated with any church and

THE gamblers are beginning to look
around bit and wondering if the
district attorney would be willing to
''stand for" few ''quiet little open
games" in the city this winter 'just
to liven things up little" Frankly,
we do not believe that he would. OF
course, open gambling was carried
on in nearly every resort in the county
all summer without any interference
by the authorities except when the
gamblers quarre1ed among themselves
over the division of the spoi1s and
made complaints against one another,
but that was not the fault of the
district attorney, exactly. The fact
is that he had more work on his
shoulders this summer in preparing
for the important cases which came
up at the fall term Of the circuit court
than any one man ought to be asked
to attend to and he had absolutely no
time to carry on vigorous campaign
against gambling going on at the
parks and resorts. That is the ex-
PLANTATION of the immunity from
prosecution enjoyed by the gamblers
this summer, but now that the term
Of court is over, gambling resorts
either in the city or the county need
look for no further favors.

Arrangements have been all but
completed for the big bazaar to be
given by the societies Of ST. Georges

nosha next year. The bazaar will
open on the evening of Nov. 6 and
continue for whole week.
The merchants and manufa cturers
of the city have been most liberal in
making contributions to the fund for
the fair, and almost every possible
sort of merchandise has been con-
tributed. Every dealer on Main street
has given something, and even the
farmer members of the church have
contributed a bounteons supply of
meats and poultry to be served at the
dinners. The Simmons Manufacture
ing company has presented the COM
mittee with 500 brass bed, while the
Kenosha Crib company has given a
splendid parlor table, and the Wind
sor Spring company a spring bed.

Consolidation Of Country Schools.

Consolidation Of Country Schools.
One remedy for the lack Of trained
teachers and the dearth of scholars
where teachers can be found for the
small district schools is the consolida-
ton OF sparsely peopled school dis
tricts. The consolidation is now going
on in states which represent over half
the population of the country and
stretch from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific The plan is to unite two or more
feeble schools and provide Transports
ton for children living at a distance.
The advantages Of the system Of con-
solidation are evident. It substitutes
for mixed, ungraded school in a poor
" ventilated room with a single, un-
derpaid teacher graded school In
suitable building with modern appl-
ances for giving instruction and CON-
petent teachers. Wherever centraliza-
ton has been carried out and giyer
time to develop it is found that it de-
creases the per capita cost of educa-
ton and gives longer school years and
better teachers and equipments, Theold
time district school was seen at it's
best where the inhabitants were set
tied in proximity. The extension OF
roads has distributed the population,
and the modern Improvement Of roads
makes it possible to gather the chill
dren from widely scattered homes to
a central point for lessons.

good, but if the law is to be passed
simply to satisfy the petitioners that
is another matter. There are enough

Cuba's Political Woes.

The little republic of Cuba has got
along SO well alone since 1t was put on
It's feet by the American guns at Santi-
ago that 1t is a matter for regret that
her political affairs should have ended
in tangle and that the cry Of fraud
with the talk Of force is heard in the
second presidential campaign held In
free Cuba. But the situation is not so
alarming to outsiders as It seems to be
to some Of the amateur republicans
who are on the ground and involved in
the mixup.
1t would be strange IL the party in
power in Cuba should be free from
shortcomings. The republic is young.
1t inherited bad models in governing
from the former government. Time
alone can cure the evils of party mis-
rule, and what new republic needs
above all else is stability and order.
Parties are essential in republic, and
only one can rule at one tine. Often
the party out Of power, working active
~, but by quiet and peaceful meth
DDS, may advance national progress
more than the party in power. In time
the Cuban patriots will learn that wise
opposition makes for reform and that
revolution destroys good and bad alike.

To Be Depended On
Because It Is the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
vestigated

A stranger lost In a large city would
place far more dependence on the di-
rections given him by a local resident
than the guidance Of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse-
quence of experience; it's like ship
liar with the hal Dor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at a
distant point because we can't investi-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for it's
an easy matter to prove it. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. W. F. Williams Of this city. is a
lighthouse keeper, and he has held this
position for the last 80 years. He says:
Il was for a number Of years. one of
that numerous army OF people who
suffer with their backs. Mine ached
and panied me to no small extent, so
that was glad when I heard of a rem
edy for it, Doan's Backache Kidney

them. They gave me great relief, and
I make this short narration Of my ex-
periences for the benefit of others who
perhaps do not know that nearly all
backache arises from the kidneys, and
