IF Kenosha is to go on growing and
increasing in population, as We all
hope and expect it will, it is time to
set about acquiring more land for
park purposes. There are several
beautiful locations for public play
grounds within easy walking distance
of the center of the city, which can be
bought now at reasonable prices, that
will be away up in the air" in few
years, if real estate values keep on
jumping at the present rates, and if
the purchase of park sites is delayed
until it is absolutely necessary to buy
something, the city will pay long
price for what can be bought now al
a reasonable figure. AS a matter of
fact, the city needs more public play
grounds right now, places that the
people can use and enjoy for their
very own, and where they will be free
to go at any time, and where they will
feel under no obligation to spend a
little money in return for their enter
tainment, as they do now in the many
semi-public parks in the vicinity OF
the city. Family parks, if that is the
right name for them, are what the
city needs. Library park, with its
beautiful building and monument,
will always be the "show" place Of
the city, and no taxpayer will ever be
grudge the money to keep It in per
feet condition, but if no public bene
factor comes forward with the neces
sary funds the city can well afford K
spend moderate amount Of money il
providing park or two for genera
public use.

MAY OFFER REWARD
Chicago and Milwaukee Railway
Co. May Offer Reward for
Capture Of John Bradley
OFFICIALS FAIL TO GET CLUE


Interest in the efforts to capture
John Bradley, the murderer Of G. 4.
Smith, has been revived by the report
that the officials of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Railway Co. are investi-
eating the details of the killing OF
Smith, aud it is probable that the
company will offer reward for the
arrest Of Bradley.
The Kenosha county officials have
been so busy with outside matters
that the chase for Bradley has been
overlooked and no active steps are
now being taken to secure his cap
ture. The officials have been looking
for clues from outside cities and from
other states, but the crusade for the
capture Of the murderer has not been
pushed with sufficient enthusiasm to
arouse other officials IN other counties
and states to action. The paltry re-
ward of 5000. which has been offered
by the county, has not awakened in
terest among the detective agencies
Of the country, SO that the case is
practically at standstill. The de-
tails of the c. .ne have been forgotten
and the men at work on the railway
have settled down again.
It is probable that the crime is still
remembered by the widow and chill
dren of the murdered man, and it is
the duty of Kenosha county to act on
behalf Of these people and demand
tie capture of Bradley at any cost.
1t has been learned that Bradley
formerly worked in ST. Louis and
that he formerly had residence in
that city, and it is possible that the
ST. Louis officers would be able to find
some trace of the man if sufficient re-
ward for his capture was offered.
Many people are still Of the opinion
that Bradley is in hiding near Keno
sha, but this is hardly thought to be
possible, as with even ordinary care
the officers should have heard some
thing of the man if he was near the
scene of his crime.
