President White of the Wireless
Telegraph Co., Pays Tribute
to Kenosha Man.
FIRST MESSAGE is RECEIVED
kenosha's Leader in the Telegraphic
World Offers the DeForest Conn
pany the Use of Pixies Peak for
Supreme Test of the System.
Chicago, Jan. 4, 1905.
To z. G.. Simmons,
Kenosha. Wis


TO Z. G.. Simmons,
Kenosha, Wis.
AS President of the American De.
Forest Wireless Telegraph company I
sendEgreetings to you as one of the
pioneers Yin developing telegraph
communication in this country. You
are certainly one of the great cap
tains of industry, and by your work
the foundation was undoubtedly laid
for greatrdeve1opment. May your
example be ernu1ated as the progress
and!commerce of the world will be
aided thereby. With great respect
for your foresight.
ABRAHAM WHITE,
President of the American DeForest
Wireless Telegraph company.
The above message which was sent
by President Abraham White of the
American DeForest Wireless Te1e-
graph company and received by z. G.
Simmons at his Office in this CITY was
the first message received on the op-
en1ng Of the new wireless station in
Kenosha this morning. The message
brought together in friendly inter
course the president of the newest
telegraph in the United States and
the former president and owner of the
Wisconsin Telegraph company which
was one of the pioneer lines of te1e-
graph service in the United States
and the first in the great northwest.
4. q. Simmons, the Kenos1a pio-
neer, had at one time the entire con-
troll OF the Wisconsin Telegraph COM
pany, and it is now one of the most
useful lines operated by the Western
Union Telegraph company. Mr.. Sim
mons still has large amount of the
stock.
William II. Ocker, manager of the
American DeForest Telegraph COM
pany in Chicago, was at the ticker
when the first message was received
this morning, and after the first mes
sage many messages bringing general
business and market quotations were
received. The new chimney recent1v
erected by the Simmons company has
been put in service as tower, and
sending apparatus will be put in at
once. Kenosha will have the dis
tinction of having the highest wire
less station in the world.
After the first message had been re-
ce1ved this morning, Mr.. Simmons
called President White over the long
distance telephone and offered him
the use of the high steel tower owned
by Mr.. Simmons and located at the
top of Pixies Peak in Colorado, as
wireless station.
Manager Ocker in speaking of the
offer stated that this would make it
possible for the company to make
supreme test of the workings of the
system. The tower extends some dis
lance above the top of the peak, so
that the station will be located little
less than three miles above the level
of the sea. Mr.. Simmons has also
offered to run special train to the
top of the peak in order to allow the
company to put in station at once.
The sending apparatus will be put
IN at the Simmons factory within
few days, and a permanent station of
the wireless system will be located in
Kenosha.

A Plain Definition OF Poverty.


The New York sociologist, Robert
Hunter, who not long ago abandoned a
mansion on Fifth avenue to live in
humble quarters among the common
people, is before the public with book
entitled Poverty" Mr.. Hunter evil
IDENTITY did not aim at creating sensa-
ton with his book, nor did he write
with view to big sales. His wife is
q multimillionairess and shares in his
enthusiasm for sociological work.
1t is a matter Of surprise to find that
poverty contains statistics, based
upon returns from charitable institu-
tons and various department reports,
which show that 100000 persons, or
about one-eighth Of our population, are
in poverty. Now, poverty is a vague
term, doing duty at one time as the
synonym Of acute want and again in
dicating a condition which calls for
continued hustling and close economy
to keep the wolf from the door. A
man who earns SO cents a day cutting
cord wood will say that he is driven to
it by poverty, poverty Of which he is
proud. He may have nest egg hid
den away, a little home of his own or
some other security against the poor
house, yet poverty forces him to toll
for mere pittance.
One is at loss for a standard Of
financial distress which would fit the
common idea of poverty, therefore it is
difficult to accept Mr. Hunters figures
without question. An English student
Of sociology, W. V. Roberts, writing of
Science and Poverty" in the Westmin-
ster Review, thus carefully defines the
word poverty"
'That family is in poverty whose to-
tai earnings are insufficient to obtain
the minimum necessaries for the main
tenance of merely physical efficiency or
whose total earnings would have been
sufficient for the maintenance Of mere
~ physical efficiency were it not that
some portion Of it was absorbed by 9TH
er expenditure, either useful or other
WISE"
Pauperism and the poverty Of the
poorest laborers are not held to be
synonymous in England. A family
may come within the limits of Mr.. Rob-
erts' definition and yet not be classed
as paupers.
Mr.. Hunter would have the Ameri-
can poverty which he describes under
stood to be the result of the present
economic condition Of society,"" hence
It may be the poverty of the wood
chopper, something not to be ashamed
of, for it is not pauperism. The
strength to work and the will to work
are there. Remunerative work is lack
ing. Take the country through there
may be 100000 persons, including
actual paupers and the struggling poor,
who cannot bury their dead or be sick
or indulge in any expensive pleasures
without poaching on the bread fund.
There ought not to be many, and
it is to be hoped that Mr. Hunters
army of distress is greatly overesti-
mated.

IT is high time the council tackled
the sewer question again. Some
thing must be done soon to get new
sewers built unless we are content to
let the lack of them operate as a
serious check upon the growth of the
city. The problem will not grow
easier of solution as time passes, 50
there is nothing to be gained by post
poning the work of settling it.

The city is comparatively free from
typhoid fever and other diseases
caused by bad water, and this is
proof positive that the city water is
healthy enough in spite of the roily
appearance. However, to be on the
safe side, it might be well to boil it
before drinking.

"THEBlNKER'S SLAUGHTER"
At 0RPHFUM TONIGHT

THE Bankers Daughter" will be
the new bill at the Orpheum tonight.
This is one of Bronson Towards
earliest plays and that II has with.
stood the test OF time augers well 70,
its intrinsic merits as a drama.
A play to last that long and still re-
tain Its popularity with the theater
going public has certain values that
raise 1t above the ordinary.
"The Bankers Daughter" is a play
that is brimful Of human interest and
human pathos. 1t tells story of love
and intrigue and is so cleverly con
structed that one is carried along to
the end before he hardly realizes that
the story is finished.
The comedy is excellent and ripples
through the play like a bright stream
of silver. The characters are all well
drawn and the members of the com
pany are cast to suit their best aLili
ties. Every device known to the mod
orn stage will be used to make this
revival of an old play a success.

PUNISHING THE SUICIDE

A short while ago in Wisconsin a
man and a woman agreed to commit
suicide The woman kept her word, but
the mans nerve failed him at the last
moment and he is still in the land Of
the living. The Badger state was con-
siderably wrought up over the affair
and the direct result of its agitation is
a bill which has been introduced into
the legislature making the assisting of
person in the commission of suicide
the crime of murder in the second de-
gree.
Manifestly the object of the Trainer
of the bill was not to promote suicide.
But the individual who had entered
|, into solemn pact with somebody else
to commit suicide would not be apt to
hesitate long after his companion was
dead and he recalled the fact that IL
his resolution failed him he stood a
good chance of spending the remainder
of his life in prison. In spite of the
fact that it was popular measure, the
assembly judiciary committee seems to
have shown good sense in shelving the
bill.
If two people agree to commit sui
eide and one repents the agreement at
the last minute, there seems to be no
really good reason why his change of
mind should be dubbed an offense and
he be thrust into Jail to spend the re-
mainder OF his life bewailing the fact
that he did not court the bare bodkin's
thrust when he had an opportunity.
Fortunately it is only occasionally that
the public is shocked by the story of A
double suicide pact. And generally
when it is SO shocked, the parties of
both parts have succeeded in CARRYING
out their intentions. The sentimentaIly
inclined doubtless waste some sighs on
the rash lovers and it is just possible
that the departed ones represent Ro-
meo and Juliet to many of these.
But the announcement that Romeo's
courage has failed him takes all the ro-
nance out of the occurrence. The woun-
an then is apt to be dubbed an idiot
and the man brute, with the result
that feeling of healthful disgust is
disseminated. II does not really mat
ter-what becomes OF the craven Romeo.
He can work out mis- own punishment
