THE rest of the cases against the
thieving clerks will probably never
be taken into court, and the young
lady who is now under bonds will I'M
doubtedly be let off as easily as posi-
BILE by the District Attorney. He is
determined that this one girl shall
not be made to suffer fol the sins of
the whole outfit, and the people of the
city generally will sustain him in the
stand he has taken. The merchants
have been put in hard position III
these cases and great pressure mas
undoubtedly been broughtto bear up
on them to induce them not to prose
cute. Public opinion is divided as to
the duty of the merchants. It is COM
mon gossip that this is not the first
time by a good many that clerks have
been caught stealing and let off, and
a good many people contend that II
the very first cases had been prose-
cuted, the present unfortunate situa-
ton would never have developed. The
whole affair is unfortunate, to say the
least of it, any way you look att, and
we hope it will be many long day
before anything of the kind comes up
in Kenosha again.

AS THE Catholic press is pointing

AS THE Catholic press is pointing
out, that church is to have practically
no representation at the national di-
vorce conference to be held at Wash
ington next month. This is serious
error, but happily one that it is not
yet too late to rectify, and if the con-
ference is to be a truly representative
gathering, prominent Catholics, both
ecclesiastics and 1ayme1, should be
given places on it's program. The
uncompromising attitude of that
church towards the divorce evil GER
tain1y entities its representatives to a
hearing, and no assembly that pro-
poses to omit Catholics can be in any
way representative Of the opposition
to the free and easy divorce laws
which are disgrace to this country.

The SDeech OF the PeoDIe.


Professor Brander Matthews OF Co
lumbia university is quoted by the
New York Herald as having a good
word for slang as vitalizing ele-
ment In our language. 1t is the people
and not the schoolmaster, says Pro
fessor Matthews, that give our tongue
it's virility. TO quote further:
The English language belongs to the
people who speak it It Is their own
precious possession to deal with at their
pleasure and at their peril. The English
language has gone on its own way, keep
ing it's strength In spite Of the efforts Of
pedants and pedagogues to bind it and
to stifie it, ever insisting on renewing It's
freshness as best it could. consider
Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling writer's
Of the best English we have today. Their
use Of slang Is wonderful and they have
made it part Of the literature Of the
period.
This actual speech Of the people, wheth-
er In Rome or in London or In New York,
is the real language of which the literary
dialect is but a SubliInation. Language is
made sometimes in the library, 1t Is true,
and in the parlor also, but far more often
in the workshop and on the sidewalk,
and nowadays the newspaper and the adj
vertisement record for US the simple and
undistilled phrases Of the workshop.
Most Of tneee will fade out of sight un-
regretted, but a few will prove them
selves possessed Of a sturdy vitality.
The ideal of style, SO it has been tersely
put is the speech of the people in the
mouth of the scholar. One reason why so
much of the academic writing Of educat-
ed men Is arid Is because 1t is as remote
as may N9 from the speech Of the people.
One reason why Mark Twain and Rud-
yard Kipling are now the best beloved
authors of the English language is be-
cause they have, each Of them, a welcome
ear for the speech Of the people.
Characters who talk naturally in
books that is, as people of the same
class do in everyday life are certain
to command attention. Unconsciously,
it may be, the reader feels that favor
tie words and expressions, however
uncouth, are given dignity when put
in print.

AN AFTERNOON I'm JAPAN
Mrs. Charles w. EAllen Reads Paper
Before Kenosha Woman's Club

The members of the Kenosha Won
ans club enjoyed very pleasant
afternoon at the club rooms in the
Library building on Wednesday after
noon. The program was under the
direction of Mrs. Chas. G. Brown,
and the feature was paper by Mrs.
Charles w. Allen on the subject:
Japanese Art. The paper by Mrs.
Allen was charming1y original, and it
gave good idea of Japanese art and
artists, as it had been CLEANED by the
writer during her recent visit there.
In illustrating the paper Mrs. Allen
displayed a large number of pieces of
art from her private collection and
from collections of other members of
the club. AT the close of the after
noon Mrs. c. C. Allen and Misses
Gertrude Allen and Edith Brown,
daintily gowned in Japanese costume,
served tea.

Police Seek Man Who Stole Over
coat Belonging to Conductor Reese
The police of the city are making
search for man who robbed one of
the cars of the Kenosha Electric rail-
way company on Thursday and man
aged to get away with $40 overcoat

formerly employed with the censtruc-
ton crew of the Chicago & Milwaukee

his escape. The fellow boarded the
car at the station on Elizabeth street

took the coat with him. Later he sold
it to saloon keeper on the North side
for the paltry sum of SIS.
Police Officer Euting recovered the
coat Thursday night and it was re-
turned to Reese.

From Dawson to Vladivostok

In spite Of the troubles which would
seem enough to have swamped Russia
during the last two years the czar's
government has taken the time to con-
slider and approve Of the plan for build
ing a railroad from Siberia to Alaska
The world in general has been disposed
to laugh at this stupendous project ia
thered by French engineer, Baron
Loicq de Lobel, but Russia has from
the beginning looked at the matter seri-
ously. Many leading Russians have
favored the enterprise, the Russian
press has Endorsed it and the project Is
considered a national one.
Engineers have long been at work
exploring the best route for the line in
north Asia and have finally determined
upon one leading from Bering strait to
the Amur river, by the sea Of Okhotsk,
where it would be linked with the ST.
berian line at Vladivostok. Branch
lines would tap the mining districts
and open up a vast country to various
enterprises. The route favored by the
engineers is said to be free from the
extremes Of cold and heavy snowfall
A commission has been appointed by
the Russian government to consider
the Alaskan extension and make pre-
liminary study Of the details.

That Roundup of Kentucky's Exiles.

That Roundup of Kentucky's Ex1les.
1t is none too soon for the projectors
Of the home coming festival for wan
dering sons and daughters of Ken
lucky to be held next June to spread
over the land the appeal to 100000
Kentucky born citizens living outside
Of the borders of the state. Not alone
the natives who still call Kentucky
home will be interested, but thousands
whose family tree is not quite clear
will want to hunt up their pedigrees
and find excuse for taking the welcome
as a personal one.
Stephen Fosters song has made
enough bomesick souls throughout the
land to pack the state from center to
circumference, and if every man, wom-
an and child in the United States who
has warm home feeling about Ken
lucky should put in an appearance any
possible detection among the real sons
and daughters will not count in the
crowds that will gather for the festiv-
tiles. The mere thought of Home
Coming Week For KeItuckians" car
ries thrill to the American heart.

rail fence has been used with general satisfac-

smooth wire fence. The Frost and American
patents are much used.'
Mr.. J.F. q. Talbot said 1T think the prettiest
fence is the whitewashed plank or post-and- rail
fence.'
Mr.. Frame said "a four-foot high woven wire
fence for chickens has kept them within bounds.
There should be no rail of any kind at the top,
then the fowls cannot see anything upon which
to light"
Several cuts, descriptions and prices of fences
were noticed with interest and favorable COM
ments were made.
Some of the members being required to leave
for their homes on an early train. discussion was
interfered with. Many subjects of interest in
terspersed the proceedings. Among these was
the purchase of individual farms by one person
or syndicate, thus breaking up homes which
comprised farmers community of interest and
social life The farmers then are deprived of a
unity which gives way to different condition
of things. It was said many farmers have sold
out at very remunerative figures and start anew
a life that, in the past. made them struggle.
Mr.. Talbot interested the company by giving
his opinion of the best men in the United States
Senate and House of Representatives and by ex-
pressing his views as to the ruling of those
bodies by the Speaker and committees. He
thought the court review of the railroad rate
question would be adopted. He was much con-
cerned as to the cut-off railroad bill. He said
we should appreciate the railroads, as they make
trade and are civilizers.
