THE police should make special
effort this year to protect the prop
erty owners who have spent their
money to beautify their homes and
their lots in the city cemetery with
Towering plants and shrubs. There
is large class of young vandals in
Kenosha who seem to take special
delight in destroying this kind Of
property, and they need a severe les
son to teach them to let it alone. Ke-
nosha people have spent much money
in their efforts to beautify the city,
and they have very little to show for

TO BUILD DOUBLE TRACK.
c. M. & ST. p. Plan High Speed Line
From Chicago to Milwaukee.

c. M. & ST. p. Plan a High Speed Line
From Chicago to Milwaukee.
The announcement regarding the
building of the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric Railroad company's line north
to Milwaukee next year and as far as
Kenosha by next September is fol-
lowed by statements of other plans of
the company.
Under the present plan the west side
road will be a freight line,
mainly for freight. However, when
the line is built through to Mi1wau-
kee, the passenger service will be-
come as important feature.
There will be through trains or cars
run along the north shore towns at
regular schedule which will be switch
ed off from the present main electric
passenger line to the west side road
at North Chicago. These cars will
then be run through the west side of
Waukegan and on north to the end of
the route. These cars will not stop
at every street crossing, but will have
certain points at which passengers
may be taken on. The change of
running the cars to the west side will
be inaugurated as soon as the west
side road is completed to Kenosha,
September 1.
The road is be completed to Zion
City by July 1.
When the line is done to Mi1wau-
kee, or even to Racine, then the COM
pany will start a fast service. The
large cars are being put into shape
for the increased speed.
One thing which will permit the in
crease of speed over the entire line is
the double trackage which is now
nearing completion. Over the line
between Waukegan and Evanston
there is now double tracks with the
exception of the short space betweenl
North Chicago and Lake Bluff which
will be made double track soon.
The fight over town hall building
at Union iGrove has entered politics,
splitting the Republican ranks. In
years there has not been over three.
Democrats in the town of Yorkvil1eI
and about one in the village of Union
Grove, but there are now two Repub-I
lican tickets in the field.

If the postoffice employees have not
room enough now to properly transact
the business of the Office in their pres
ent quarters, what will it be at the
end of another FIVE years? The gov
eminent has released the present
quarters, however, and they will have
to get along the best way they can.
The postmaster and clerks will have
one consolation, anyway, and that is
that there will always be q valid ex-
cuse for any shortcomings in the ser
vice, as it is admitted that the Office
is entirely inadequate for the bust
ness transacted.

If THE council provides for reason
able extension of the present sewers
Kenosha will enjoy building boom
this summer that will go far ahead of
any thing in that line the city has ever
had before. AT present the supply Of
renting property is not anywhere
near equal to the demand and if the
factories are going to keep on grow
ing every home that can be built this
summer will be needed to house their
new employees.

dent of Kenosha for about six years.

COLLEGE DEFEATS HIGHS.
Final Basket Ball Game Results in a
Score of do to % in Favor of College

Final Basket Ball Game Results in a
Score of do to % in Favor of College
The final basket ball match between
the High school and College of Com
merce teams was played last night
before large gallery, the score being
As to % in the Commercial boys favor.
The first half ended 20 to IS but as the
second half started the High school
five took a brace which set the crowd
wild, and their team work made them
appear to good advantage during
most of the game. The College team
was much more accurate on goal
throwing although beaten on team
work, and the High school showed
lack of practice since the great ma
jority of their throws had not the ac-
curacy shown in previous games.
Last nights game gives each team a
victory since the High school won in
the early season game.
The College audience was proud of
it's team last night as it may we'll be,
since the five has been the most sue
cessfu1 one which ever represented
the institution. They have won eight
games Of the ten played, losing only
to the Y. M. c. A. first team and to
the High school 1888.
The High school five will wind up
their seasonSaturday night at the X.
M. c. A. gymnasium when they meet
the first team from Chicago Commons
Institute and the Red team of the X.
M. C. A. will take on the second Chi
cago Commons team as a preliminary.

THE decision of the clerk to print
only the names of the candidates who
filed petitions at the primary election
on the official ballot is certainly right,
and none Of the would be candidates
has any just grounds for complaint.
The law is plain on this point, and all
persons had plenty of time to get ont
their petitions before the primary.
Only very little work was required
to get the signatures on the petitions,
and no man who neglected to comply
with the law has any right to expect
to have his name put on the official
ballot. It looks rather queer, to say
the least of it, for anybody who did
not go to the trouble to get his name
on the primary ballots, to try and
force himself on the ticket at this late
day. To permit candidates who failed
to file petitions to go on the ticket
would make the law of no effect at
once, and it is well to have this point
settled now so that there may be no
misunderstanding the next time.
