Catholic Societies Completing
Arrangements for Entertaining
Federation Convention
PETER GILES is PRESIDENT
Committee Selects Peter Giles, M. p.
schmitz and c. F. stemm to Rep
resent Kenosha Societies in
Welcoming Catholics.

Members of the different Catholic
societies in Kenosha are making
elaborate preparations for the enter
tainment Of the Wisconsin Federation
of Catholic Societies, which will hold
its annual convention here during the
first four days of June. Letters re
ceived give assurance that at least
three thousand delegates and members
of the different societies in the state
will attend the four days convention.
til expected that every one of the
two hundred societies which are mem
bers Of the Wisconsin Federation W; 1
be represented by from three to ten
delegates. Distinguished speakers,
some Of them of national reputation,
will also be present and take part in
the great Catholic gathering. The
convention will undoubtedly be the
greatest meeting of the central So
ciety ever held in the state.
Archbishop Messmer and large
number Of the clergy from different
parts of the state have promised to be
present at the sessions of the conven-
ton as many matters of Importance
to the membe of the societies will be
taken up.
While the members of the ST.
Michae1s and ST. George societies will
act as the hosts for the convention the
Kenosha chapters of the Catholic
Knights of Wisconsin, the Knights of
Columbus and the Catholic Order Of
Foresters will assist i'll the work. All
of these societies will meet within a
week to make arrangements to pro-
vide sleeping places for the great
army of delegates. There is nc doubt
but that this problem will be SCI we'd in
satisfactory manner and place
will be found to care for every dele
gate at the convention.
The executive committee in charge
of the convention will consist of
Father B. Elskamp, chairman ex-
officio; Joseph Loci, chairman; Hubert
Schwan, secretary, and Herman
Brocl1house, treasurer.
This committee met Tuesday even
ing and selected the following officers
to preside over the entertainment of
the delegates:
Fest president, Peter Giles; fest
vice-president, M. P. Schmitz; fest
marshal, C. F. Stemm.
The men who are promoting the
convention are urging the people to
decorate their homes and places of
business during the convention week
and Kenosha will be in gala attire for
the coming of the Catholics.
The program for the convention has
not as yet been sent out by the state
central committee, but as soon as it is
issued the Kenosha societies will an
nounce supplementary program of
entertainments to be provided for the
visiting delegates. Several COM
mittees are now at work planning
these entertainments and it is assured
that the delegates will not have d
single dull day during their stop in
Kenosha.
One of the features of the conven-
ton will be the parade, which will
take place on Monday of convention
week. It is expected that there will
be from four to five thousand mem
bers of the different societies Of the
state in line and there will be seven or
eight bands to furnish music for the
marching men,

IF the North-W Western railroad was
doing any business here at loss,
possibly Kenosha would have no right
to complain of the service, but this is
the most profitable station on the sys-
tenn, and the city is certainly paying
enough into the Golfers of the com
pany to entit1e it to good service.

JUST because the city owns the
water company a good many people
seem to think that they have the
right to ask favors that a private
corporation would never dream Of
granting. 1t is true that the plant is
operated for the benefit of the tax
payers, but it is for the benefit of all
the taxpayers, not for favored few.

SENT TO STATE HOME
Leo Kapplehoff, of Brighton, Sent to
Home for Feeble Minded


In the county court this morning
Judge Be1den handed down an order
directing that Leo Kapp1ehof, son
of Herman Kapplehof of the town of
Brighton, be committed to the state
home for the feeble minded at Chip
pewa Falls. The boy has been feeble
minded for many years but in the
past few months he had grown violent
and his parents we're no longer able
to care for him. The boy would re-
fuse to talk and would run away from
home and remain for days and his
father had no power over him. It is
feared that the condition is perma-
nent one and the boy may remain al
the home for many months.

IF it is true that the man whose
mistake caused the terrible wreck on
the Denver and Rio Grande railway
had been on duty for thirty-six con-

responsible, and the authorities will
have to go to his superior officers to
fix the blame.

HOSPITAL Windows.

The official statement Is made at the Dis
trlct building that there Is no law under
which the Commissioners can require the
hospital authorities to have bars put in the
windows of their institutions TO prevent
patients from jumping or falling from them
to their death. This is an unfortunate state
OF affairs and should be remedied as speed
lily as possible. 1t Is anomalous that there
should be institutions In this District which
can not be reached by the municipal au-
thorities directly and quickly for the cor
rection OF abuses or the supply of deficien-
cies whenever the need il disclosed. The
Commissioners are without jurisdiction over
the hospitals save indirectly through the
board OF charities. and then only In an adj
visory and suggestive capacity Yet these
establishments are doing public work and
are In large measure supported by public
money.
As for the window bars themselves. II
appears that the hospital authorities object
on the ground first Of the expense and next
on the score that bars at the windows
weald cause the hospitals to resemble pris-
oas. Neither objection Is convincing to the

said in explanation that an unusual induce

country and many of them new. No man
has felt that he was repeating himself, or
threshing over the old straw Of others The
railroad rate bill alone was worthy OF all
the attention given 1t, and although much
of the discussion was in the key OF legal
distinctions. II was nevertheless iilumi-
mating to the general public In what 1t con-
tanned relating to transportation and the
obligations OF common carriers. Let de-
bate thrive. The country lives upon what
men of saase and information offer. Some
of the congressional talk may Lack In sub
stance and value. but when the subjects
are worth while and members get into their
strides the time consumed Is well employed

II Is announced that as result Of GER

trains between the cities In four hours and

sumed by The fastest expresses This

York side OF the ferry. II such schedule
can be maintained the additional improve
ments now under way. mainly the termi
nais In Washington and New York city.
viii make possible even a still further re-
duction Of the time. The Washington union
station arrangement will permit a much
more direct haul out of the capital uer-
uniting saving OF probably five minutes,
and perhaps more. The tunnel under the
North river will land passengers In New
York In considerably quicker time than is
now possible. These terminal changes Will
effect total saving OF at least hfteen min
uteS. thus reducing the time from city to
city to four hours and a quarter. BY the
time the New York terminal is finished,
however railroad speeds will probably have
been increased, either through the improve
ment OF the locomotive. which Is some
what questionable. or through the adoption
Of electricity. A four-hour train service

the so-called practical considerations. It
Is not, of course. to be commended that the
United States Is an eieemosynary institu-
ton, for the coddling and care of the aged.
Nobody urges that the government build
irgs be filed with superannuated clerks
and watchmen and other employees out OF
at which human nature revolts at the
thought of turning out aged men after
they have faithfully and to the best OF
their ability served their master, Uncle
Sam, without even the consideration paid
to a WORKOUT horse
The money saved to the government Is
the merest picayune. A hundred times as
much is wasted every year in the depart
ments In useless works or probIematical
enterprises. A much greater economy
could easily be erected In many other di-
rections without sacrificing any worthy
men or lessening the practical ediciency
OF the organization. Furthermore Congress
has not commanded the change by cur
failing the appropriation.
1t is especially dsplorable that this ac-
ton was taken on the heels of the refusal
of Congress to legislate against the elder
men in the departmental service. That
decision was regarded as an ayowal of the
moral right of the veteran employees to
retention in their positions when they had
been faithful and efficient. 1t Is to be
hoped that the action of the three secre-
taries will be reconsidered SO that the
executive departments Of the government
may not be made the scene of a spectacle
of heartless economizing.

Bailey's Break.

Senator Bailey of Texas says some ex-
ceedingly wise things In the course OF the
debates in the Senate. He Is profound
student Of the law. He is always worth at
tention whenever he expounds the Constitu-
ton. His periods. too. are well rounded,
graceful. pleasing and effective. But Mr.
Bailey occasionally says things that are
not In harmony with his general bearing.
things that jar upon the ear and suggest
shortness OF temper that Is not compatible
with the senatorial office.
One of these discordant utterances CANA

upon the Presidents railroad fare. MOLE
hill of which the Senate tried to make q
considerable mountain before 1t finally con-
scented to the enactment. With signs OF ris-
ing spleen and with unusual indiscretion OF
phrase. Mr.. Bailey interjected himself into
the debate at one point to deliver himself
of an epigram. He said:
~ think the honor of the (presidentiaD Of
fee. together with the salary. Is quite
enough as 1t now stands. / did not know
that 1t is absolutely necessary that the
present incumbent of that office should have
additional compensat ton, for that Is what
1t is. But If 1t Is necessary that anybody
should have 1t. probably he Is the one who
needs it. / understand the expenses at the
White House have been Increased some
thing like 100000 under this administra-
ton. OF course, do not know that this Is
true. If 1t is true, all l have to say is that
the President has cost more and been worth
less to the country than anyone We have
ever had.
Nobody will think the better OF Mr.. Bailey
for this sheer, and most people will deeply
deplore and stoutly resent his fling at Pres
ident Roosevelt. The President has done
some things In office that have challenged
the criticism of many people. But he has
done many other things that have been i'm
mensely popular. because tending toward
the correction of unmistakable evils or
yielding material benefits. He has been
largely instrumental In securing the encour-
aging start on an isthmian canal He has
been chiefly responsible for obtaining the
railway rate legislation just passing into
final shape. He was the cause OF the inquiry
into the legislation to correct the meat
packing evils. These are three of the I'M
mediately conspicuous acts of Mr.. Roose-
Welt that stamp his administration as sue
cess.
Cheap cynicism and juggling jibes at Mr..
Roosevelt's expense will not serve any pur-
pose but to expose the perpetrator to public
scorn. Mr.. Bailey has some excellent quail
ties and 1t will be pity II he develops
talent for ill-tempered diatribes and unwar
ranted criticism at time when every con-
sideration calls for long and strong pull
by everybody for the advancement Of ma
tional interests. And especially IN this con-
nection will the attitude of the senator from
Texas be popularity resented This Is not Il
two-penny country and It Is not well dis
posed toward the men who, IN Congress and
out. are trying to reduce the government
and all It's works and workers to a cheap
John basis of penuriousness.

the proposition to allow the President an

penses. Everybody knows that the object
of the provision is a most worthy one.
The President of the United States. when
he travels travels as the President. Ac-
cording to the army formula, "the travel
enjoined is necessary for the public serv-
Ice" Common decency forbids that the
President should hire a berth In sleeping
car like an undistinguished and unrepre-
sentative citizen. Comm on justice forbids
that, when he travels in his public and
representative capacity, he should be re-
CURED compelled or left to defray the
cost OF such travelling out OF hts own
pocket. He has other uses for his salary,
other public and necessary uses.
