IF intervention in Cuba does not
come nowsit will come later. The
present rumpus in the island is no
thing more or less than the old
struggle of the outs to get into office
and enjoy the spoils. That goes on
perpetual1y in every southern re-
public and if Secretary Taft gets the
present fracas Strengthened out, there
will be another job for somebody the
next time there is an election. These
Cuban revolutions are simply battles
for the emoluments of Office between
mercenaries and the government at
Washington cannot go on acting as
mediator between the different parties
of spoilsmen indefinitely. If the
United States guarantees law and
order in Cuba the governing will have
to be done from Washington and with
a strong hand, for the Cubans have
demonstrated their incapacity to
govern themselves.

tuesday Morning
RESIDED IN CITY SO YEARS

Mrs. Henry Til1ey, one Of the best
known Of thespioneer women Of Ken
osha, died at her home on Elizabeth
street just after one o'clock Tuesday
morning. The deceased was nearly
SO years of age and death came as a
natural breaking down due to old age.
The passing of Mrs. Tilley marks

dent Of Kenosha and she had taken
no small part in the development of

and was born in Dover, England d,
Sept. so, 1878. She came to this coun-
try in 1884 and settled in New York
and 1912 she came to Kenosha county,
where sheahasssince resided. In Jan
nary 1839IMrs. Ti1ley was married to
John Holderness at Pottsdam, New
York and with Mr.. Holderness she
came to Southport. Mr.. Holderness
died in 1853 and later Mrs. Tilley
married Henry Til1ey, who for years
was lake captain sailing out of Ken
osha. Mr.. Tilley died in 1892.
Mrs. Til1ey was the mother of a
large family lof children and nearly
all Of them have made their. home in
Kenosha. AT the time of her death
she had ten living children, thirty
five grandchildren and twenty-three
great grand children. At the time of
the breaking out of the war in 1861,
Mrs. Tilley sent four Of her sons into
the army and one of them died as a
result OF exposure during the conflict.

IF it becomes necessary to occupy
Cuba with American regulars to end
the civil war on the island, it is to be
hoped that the arrangement will be
satisfactory to both sides and that
there will be no fighting. Gen.
Funston, who has had plenty of ex-
perience in that style of fighting, is
not disposed to minimize the task be-
fore the army, if it comes to actual
hostilities and a campaign in Cuba;
and there is no denying the fact that
either side to the present controversy
in the island could make it mighty in
teresting even for Uncle Sans sea-
soned regulars for time IN guer-
rilla war. There is of course no
doubt of the final outcome, but cam
paign would be costly in both men
and money.

Joseph Hartne1l Pleads Guilty in Cir
cult Court and Goes to Prison
Joseph Hartnell, of Salem, who was
placed OF trial on a charge of rape
in the circuit court on Monday after
noon, will spend Is months in the
state prison at Waupun. After the
evidence IN the case had been pre-
sented by the state it was found that
it would be impossible for the state
to convict Hartnell of the crime first
stated and with the consent Of the
district attorney he withdrew his
plea OF not guilty and pleaded guilty
on minor charge. It was thought
that Hartnell would be sent to Green
Bay reformatory but the court held
that the charge against him was such
a grave one that he would be forced
to spend year and half in the state
prison at Waupun. He will be taken
to Waupun tomorrow.

THE city, having started an action
to determine the powers of the health
office, was beaten in the justice court
and now finds itself in the position of
The man who had to ask ''where am l
at?" The situation is peculiar and
something must be done in hurry to
straighten matters out. Either the
case in which the city was beaten
must be carried further to get ruling
on the present law from a higher
court or new ordinance which will
surely stand the test Of the courts
must be passed by the council as soon
as possible. Things must not be al
lowed to rest as they are. Suppose
that an epidemic of smallpox threat
ened the city. The authorities would
bein pretty fix if they had no author
ity to enforce the orders of the health
officer. The city may be faced with
situation any cay that demands the
exercise of the full authority of the
health officer to protect the people
from serious danger and it will not
do to let the matter rest where it is.
This is the case if there ever was one
where delays are dangerous and if
the matter is not attended to some
body will be guilty of almost criminal
negligence.

LIKE many another that dog license
ordinance would be a good law if it
was properly enforced but you can
not blame the law abiding dog owner
who pays his dollar for kicking when
it is so plainly evident that the ordin-
ance is not enforced against all alike.
The authorities should take a brace
this year and see to it that it is a case
of license tag or dead dog all over the
city after a reasonable time has been
allowed owners to take out their
licenses. The revenue from the tags
would pretty nearly pay the expenses
of strict enforcement of the law and
if it fell little short the extra ex-
pense might justly be regarded as the
fee for insurance against mad dog
scare. The la will not stand the
test of the courts unless it is enforced
against all alike and the city should
either enforce it to the letter or drop it
altog This thing of making
fish of one and fowl of another is. as
bad for municipality as it is for a
merchant.

REGISTER A KICK
West Side People Make Strenuous Com

West Side People Make Strenuous Com
plants on Street Railway Service
People residing Oh the west side Of
the city are registering a strenuous
kick against the service being given
to that part of the city on Saturday
nights and Sunday by the Kenosha
Electric Railway company. Patrons
of the company claim that they were
forced to wait for nearly half az hour
for car while the cars of the com
pany were engaged on the north side
Of the city. When the cars did come
they were filed to OVERLOOKING AID
drunken men on board 1urched from
one side to the other to the great an
noyance of the ladies in the car. It is
probable that written complaint will
be made to the city council ii the COM
pany does not take immediate steps to
provide better service.

THE NORTHWESTERN road must get
move on some way and arrange for
better deliveries of freight in Keno
sha. If the council does not wake up
and accept the offer made by the road
to pay it's share of the expense Of
paving West Main street in return
for tracks across Grand avenue, SO
that the company can use its land
north of the avenue for a freight
depot, it will have to get some other
location, and increase its facilities
Immediately, The congestion at the
freight depot is something awful at
present and the delays cause loss tc
every9business man in the city. A
merchant is lucky to get his goods
two days after they arrive in the city
and he has to keep right after them
or he will not get delivery inside Of
week. The least the road should d.
is TO increase its facilities for hand
ing its business in this city so tina
can be made on the day o.
arrival. The present conditions are
the result of the extraordinary in
crease in business in this city which
no one could forsee and arrange t,
take care Of but now that the business
is here the company should make ar
engagements to handle it, If this wa
competitive pointthe matter woul,

ASHLAND AVENUE looks like rail-
way switch yard these nights. The
telephone company is not going to
have any damages to pay if few red
lights will prevent it. The actions Of
the contractors in making every pos

are refreshing contrast to the care
1essness of some others who have torn
up the streets of the city and gone
ahead with their work on the prin-
ciple that the people should look out

Gov. DAVIDSON, as the one most in
terested, ought to have the most in
fuence in the selection of the man
who is to manage his campaign. It
has always been customary to defer to
the wishes of the head of the ticket
in matter of this kind, and while
custom and precedent have not cut
much figure in Wisconsin politics the
last few years, if Davidson wants
Connor to manage the campaign,
Conner should be made chairman Of
the state central committee. He has
many enemies, but personal feeling
should not be permitted to endanger
the success of the party, and as an
organizer Conner has no superior
now in politics in this state. He is
going to be a central figure in Wis
consin politics for years to come, any.
way, and his enemies will have plenty
of chances to get even with him later.

City Council Will Pass an Or
dinance Forcing the Building Of
Concrete Walks in Future
TO IMPROVE LOOKS OF CITY
Property Owners Will be Required to
BALD Walks to Grade and in Line,
and Only Cement Walks Will be
Permitted if Ordinance Passes

The city council took long step
toward improving the appearance Of
| the city Monday night, when the com
| mittee on ordinances was directed to
prepare an ordinance to govern the
building of sidewalks in the future.
The old ordinance has proved en-
tirely inadequate and property owners
have built walks at any grade and in
almost any line and from whatever
material they saw fit. All sorts and
conditions of walks have been the re-
suit and the city has been repeatedly
forced to pay heavy damages for ac-
cidents resulting from defective side
walks.
For some time an effort has been
made to bring some system into the
sidewalk building in the city, but it
has always been met with such oppo-
sition that ordinances proposed have
failed of passage. There is some
doubt of the rights of the city to or
der the building Of cement walks, but
it is thought that the council will go
ahead and pass the ordinance and
leave it to some of the residents of
the city to test it's validity in the
courts of the county and state. In
many cities in Wisconsin ordinances
demanding the building of concrete
walks have been passed and they have
been held constitutional by the state
Supreme court. It is not thong hit
that there will be any great opposi-
ton to the ordinance in Kenosha.
There is one kind Of sidewalks that
will surely be tabooed under the new
ordinance, and that is the cinder walk,
and it is possible that the council will
make an effort to have all cinder
walks in the city replaced by walks Of
some other material. In the past few
months many of these cinder walks
have been put down in this city.
Alderman Peter Pirsch first proposed
the cement walk ordinance many
years ago and he is still urging its
passage. In Chicago and cities of
Illinois this law has been passed and
it has never been successfully fought.
AAdAy ~ lAAC PAOPCAly OWAOio III Lily
outlying regions have already insisted
on building the concrete walks and it
is held that these walks have proved
much cheaper for the property owners
III the long run than the walks built
of cheaper material. At the present
price Of lumber the cost Of the cement
walk is only little higher than the
board walk and it is claimed that it
will last more than five times as long.
The only opposition to the ordinance
lit is thought will come from new sub
divisions in the city where the build
ing of the cement walks will be some
thing of hardship to the men who
are struggling to build home.
The council directed that sewer
stubs be put in on Crate and Park
streets at once and if the work is not
done by the property owners it will
! be done at the expense of the city and
charged to the property in the tax
roll.
| No other business of Importance
was transacted at the meeting.
