RAMBLERs STILL LEAD
Brass Works Team Takes Two Games
From Badger Brass Team

The Ranb1ers are still at the head
OF the Factory League, with six games
won and none lost. The Simmons
team which was defeated by them on
Saturday, lost the game in the first
inning by allowing four runs. The
total score was nine to five
The team of the Kenosha Crib COM
pany did not appear on Saturday to-
play the Hosiery team, ard have de-
clded to withdraw from the League.
The Badgers and Chicago Brass
teams played two games at Breen's
park, which we're both won by the
latter. The first of these games was
decidedly one-sided, but in the second
game the Badgers did not allow the
other team to score till the sixth in
ming, when the Chicago Brass piled
up six runs.
It is likely that no other team will
join the league, and that the season
will be finished with FIVE teams to
play.

mate Of Cost Of Municipal
Lighting Plant
STREET LIGHTS $37 A YEAR
Estimate Shows That the City Might
Save Two Thousand Dollars Year '-'
and Have More and Better
Lights Than at Present

After many delays the Milwaukee
Engineering company has filed with
the members Of the city council the
estimate made by the company of the
cost Of installing and operating a
municipal lighting plant in Kenosha
and the figures will furnish decidedly
interesting reading for the people of
kenosha. The company making the
estimate has made similar estimates
for other cities and plants have been
built within the estimates made by
the company.
The estimate shows that the total
cost Of constructing the plant with a
capacity Of 800 street lamps would be
Sal, $3.50 and the annual cost of
operation would be So, 3410o.
The estimate in full follows:

STATE AID FOR ROADS
Constitution to be Amended to
Permit State to Make Appro-
priations for Road Building
OTHER STATES ASSIST WORK

One-half of the states of the Union
have recognized the fact that good
roads are matter of state-w wide i'm
portance, not of local significance
entirely, and are aiding the counties
and country districts to construct
good, permanent highways. The
states pay various percentages of the
cost of building the roads, ranging
from one-qnarter IN Ohio to three
quarters in Massachusetts. Connecti-
cut and Pennsylvania, and eli roads
built IN this way are built under the
supervision of the states trained en-
gineers. Seventeen of these states
spent all together about five million
dollars Of state money in aiding in
road building in 1905.
This principle Of state aid has been
recognized in Europe for many years,
and the effect is seen in the almost
perfect systems of roads which exist
in many countries. It remained for
New Jersey to start the ball rolling
on this side Of the Atlantic in 1892,
and since that~time there are twenty
two states that have adopted the
same policy. These are New jersey.
Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut,
New York, Delaware, Maryland, North
Carolina, Maine, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Colorado, Washington, Idaho, Utah
and California.
Although Wisconsin is entirely sur
rounded by states that are giving
money to aid in building permanent
country roads, it is doing nothing in
this line itself, and appears to be con-
siderably behind its neighbors. This
state has had a handicap in the shape
of constitutional provision, which
was designed to prevent the state from
running itself in debt to help build
railroads, forbidding the appropria-
ton of money for internal improve
ments. This was wise act at that
time, but has been outgrown. The
last legislature passed an act to amend
the constitution so as to permit the
state to aid in road building. This
must pass the next legislature and
then be favorably voted on by the
people before it can take effect. In
the meantime the state Geological
Survey is collecting information re-
garding the roads to find out what is
most needed in the way of state aid.
When the constitution is changed
so that the state can appropriate
money to aid road building, Wiscon-
sin will be in an exceptional fortunate
position. On account of the new rail-
road tax the state income will be large
enough to pay its regular running ex-
penses and whatever is needed for.
roads without being obliged to levy
general state tax.

A QUESTION OF EDUCATION
Training for Good Citizenship should
Begin With the Children

The old adage, ''the constant drop
wears the stone," is especially appli-
cable to municipal cleanliness. Dirt,
IN the public places or elsewhere, is a
direct result of inattention. When it
is called to the attention of the public
or the individual it usually disappears.
Constant agitation always produces
the results aimed at. The process is
SOW, but sure. In a town of mixed
population it takes time and patience
to impress upon the multitude the
wisdom of the maxim, Cleanliness is
next to godliness." The child first
sees dirt after being taught to wear
clean hands and face. Some children
have escaped this education and in
mature years have no dirt perception.
The children must be educated to des-
pise filth. Through them the parents
can best be reached. Municipal clean
illness must be made matter of love
and duty. ALI public places should
be cleansed and kept clean from
sense of pride, rather than legal duty.
1t all resolves itself into question of
education. The way to educate is to
constantly direct the mind of the pu-
pill in and along the desired channel.
Preach and teach, water and soap,
and shovel and rake and fire. Dem
onstrate that dirt is the enemy to
health and beauty. The Outdoor Art
League is working along these lines
Keep it up until popular opinion de-
mands a clean Kenosha.
