ANOTHER GRAFT EXPOSED

"We11, I consider this town pretty
easy" said a smooth talking little
man the other day as he sat in a hotel
lobby. 81 managed to clean up $475
in few weeks from Kenosha BUSH
ness men, simply by showing pair of
bullying biceps, explaining how easy
it is for any man to develop into a
Samson by following my directions,
and sthen selling my prescription of
exercises for SIS each. Of course
had to exaggerate the exact facts
slightly when stated that my physi-
cal development was entirely due to
this ''ive-ninutes-exe rcise-per-day-in
your-own-room" method, but it is only
human nature for men to want some
thing for nothing"
Any sane man ought to realize that
strong muscles cannot be built up
much more rapidly than brain cells
are developed and we attend school
and college for years to obtain that
result. It is fact, acknowledged by
all physicians, that the most efficient
brain workers are those who take care
Of their general health and keep their
muscles firm by constant exercise.
It is, however, almost impossible
for the majority Of business men and
others of sedentary habits, to take
regular exercise, and for this reason
the German Turner's, Young Mems
Christian Associations and other or
CARNATIONS, in most cities, are con-
Quoting gymnasiums, in which regu-
lar classes meet for systematic exer-
else and recreation,under the direction
of trained instructors, and where
private work IS always given if pre-
ferred.
This is practically the only way by
which person, who has neglected
his physical welfare, can build up his
f1abby muscles and Indirectly store up
brain energy, and the same SIS, which
ninety-fve Kenosha men paid for a
few typewriter sheets of directions
would have paid their dues for a year
in well regulated gymnasium. Is 1t
any wonder that the magazines are
full of Strong Men, ads when our
most acute business men are SO easily
duped. Il. r. BURNETT,

Merchants Fail to Take Kindly to
Fight Against Chicago andsNew
York Mail Order Houses
MEETING ENDS IN A FtzzLE
Less Than Half Dozen Merchants
Answer to the Call for Formation
of a Protective Leagne Against
the Big Firms

/ An effort is being made to forma
protective league among the ner-
chants of Kenosha to meet the .ad-
lvances of the mail order houses in
| Chicago, New York, and other cities
| and meeting to this end was called
at the Y. M. c. A. auditorium Tues
day night.
The merchants of Kenosha seem
not to have felt the immediate need
of such an associa ton, as less than
half dozen merchants were present
at the meeting and most Of these were
representatives. of minor enterprises.
L. c.. Turner of Chicago, a repre-
sentative Of the Chicago Merchants
& Jobbers association, has been in
Kenosha for several days working up
a sentiment in favor of war against
the mail order houses and it was ex-
pected that nearly every representa-
tive dealer IN the city would be pres
ent at the meeting Tuesday night.
Turner was present and addressed the
little handful of men in regard to the
aims of the proposed association. He
spoke of the steady advance that is
being made by the mail order houses
to get trade in the cities in Wisconsin,
and stated that the mail order houses
were now organizing their own banks
and were planning to place mail order
stores in many cities near Chicago.
He offered the merchants present a
chance to sign an application for the
formation of a protective league in
Kenosha, but none of those present
awaited themselves of the opportunity.
In connection with the call for the
meeting it was stated that the. mail
order houses of Chicago had secured
terrific business in Kenosha. 1t is
claimed that checks through the
banks of the city to Sears, Roebuck
& Co., and to Montgomery Ward &
Co., during the past year amounted
to over $125, 900, and that the amount
of postal orders sent to these firms
was almost as large. The catalogue
dealers have for years found fertile
field in Kenosha and Kenosha coun-
ty. s4e
Kenosha merchants have felt the
result of this great trade going OUT Of
the county but at the same time there
is little reason to believe that they
would be aided by uniting with the
associations of Chicago. These con-
Germs are, of course, formed with a
purpose in view. The manufactures
and jobbers in many lines Of goods
are forced to come into sharp com
petition with the mail order houses
and they seek the aid Of the mer-
chants in the smaller towns. This
fund is to be used in seeking legisIa-
ton in regard to postal rates and
postal regulations which will put
thorns in the path Of the mail order
houses.
Kenosha merchants have always
shown willingness to meet any and
all competition, including that which
comes from the mail order houses.

THE transfers for the right of way
taken by the electric railway company
are being put on record and made
public, and they show that the COM
pany paid a fair price for the land.
Any talk of ''hold-up" of the pro-
moters is ridiculous. The owners
were entitled to good price and they
got it, but the land was worth good
deal more to Mr. Frost than he paid
for it, and there is not the slightest
doubt but that the owners of the road
would be glad to get the rest of their
right of way on the same terms.

guns on the switch crew of the Chi
cago and North Western Railway
company, were arraigned before JUS
tice McCarron this morning, the
charge against them being that of
assault with.intent to do great bodily
harm. The district attorney took
evidence under this charge and find
ing that the evidenceswas not sufi Gent
to convict in ashigher court, he asked
that the men be discharged' and re-
arrested on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Sam Baer was arraigned on simple
charge of carrying concealed
weapon and he pleaded guilty and
was asked to pay a fine of SIS and the
costs of the action. He paid the fine
and retired to make way for Tony
Sturino, who was Gcharged not only
with carrying a revolver, but with
pointing itssand aiming it at ]. W. Ak
tell brakeman on the switch train.
Axte1l was in court and testified that
Sturino had snapped the gun in his
face, but that there had been no ex-
plosion. Sturino pleaded guilty to this
charge and was fined $50 and the costs
of the action.
Sam Botano, the third of the men
arrested, was charged with assault
ing James Wilson, another member of
the crew of the switch train. He
pleaded not guilty tosrhe charge and
is being tried bya jury this afternoon.
Two other men, alleged to have been
members of the gang, have not as
yet been arrested. The trials were

city and more than a hundred of
them crowded the court room to hear

THE annual report of the collector
of customs makes a mighty poor
showing for Kenosha harbor, but the
men interested in it's development are
hoping against hope that this city
will not be entirely overlooked when
the appropriations for river and har-
Dor improvements are passed around.
They contend that, even allowing fo1
the poor showing made by the Keno.
sha harbor In the last few years,
Waukegan has had good deal more
money for harbor work, in proportion
to the business done, than Kenosha,
and they are hopeful that Congress.
man Cooper will be able to do some.
thing for this port when the time
comes. An appropriation of few
thousand dollars is all that is needed
to make the extensive improvements
already put in of some value to yes
selmen, and if theys get that, local
harbor men are willing to wait until
the tonnage here shows substantial
increase before asking for anything
more.

THE decision of Judge Quar1es to
issue no more injunctions until both
parties have had chance to be
heard, may be such a departure from
the established practices of United
States courts as to excite general re-
mark among lawyers, but it is sure to
make mighty favorable impression
on the lay mind. Plain, ordinary peo-
pie are unable to appreciate the tech
nica1ities and fine distinctions of the
law, but most of them are able to
recognize common sense no matter
how seldom they come across it, and
the Quarles decision is sure to meet
with their approval. It is along the
lines of President Rooseve1t's rule Of
"a square deal for every man"
