STRENGTHENS
THE MACHINE.

Machine building by means OF public
ownership is in harmony with the mod
ern tendencies and methods OF practical
politics. for anything TO strengthen the
machine" appears to be the slogan. But
the people should be wary. They should
not allow political machines TO grow In
power at the expense OF their freedom
and rights; on the contrary, they should
insist on the expansion OF their power,
freedom and rights at the expense OF the
political machlnes.-Loulsville Courier

THERE is no surer evidence that
Kenosha has been enjoying unusual
prosperity for the past few years
than the fact that positions on the
police force are practically going
begging. Formerly these places we're
eagerly sought after and the man
whose pull was strong enough to land
one of them was envied by his fellows.
Nowadays the police and fire COM
mission is hard put to it to keep any
names on the list of e1igib1es from
which vacancies are filled. The duties
of policeman in Kenosha are not
particularly hazardous or exacting
and the pay here compares lfavorably
with the amount paid in other cities,
but the demand for labor of all kinds
is so brisk and the scale of wages so
high in all lines just now that the
position of policeman appears to have
few attractions for the kind Of men
wanted on the force.

GIFT FROM CARNEGIE
Famous Giver Of Libraries Con-
tributes $3.50 to Organ Fund
Of Grace Lutheran Church
CONGREGATION TO RAISES750

Grace English Lutheran church
members are making an effort to Sc
cure an organ for the use of the con-
gregation and to this end they have
received noteworthy aid from Andrew
Carnegie, the famous New York
philanthropist. Mr.. Carnegie has
given libraries to many cities in Wis
consin but he has never been asked to
make contribution to any of the in
stitutions of Kenosha.
Some time ago when the English
Lutherans started out to raise fund
for an organ the matter was laid be-
fore Mr.. Carnegie and he has respond
ed generously. He authorized the
Rev. P. E. Baisler, pastor of the
church, to announce that he will give
the sum of $3.50 towards the erection
of an organ in the church if an equal
amount can be raised among the peo-
pie of Kenosha.
The letter has caused great reioic-
ing among the members of the church
and some Of the money needed to Sc
cure the gift has already been raised.
There is no time limit to the gift of
Mr.. Carnegie and he will undoubtedly
be willing to carry out his contract
with the church at any time the re-
naming money is raised. However,
the members of the church are very
anxious to secure the installation of
the organ and an effort will be made
to raise the money during the spring
and summer of this year.
The congregation of Grace church
is by no means a large one but it is
an enthusiastic one and there is no
doubt but that the money will be
forthcoming to claim the gift pro6fer-
ed by Mr.. Carnegie.

THERE are hundreds and hundreds
of comparatively new comers to the
city who have little knowledge of the
past records of some of the candidates
whom they they will be asked to vote
for at the coming primaries and there
in lies the danger of an outcome that
will disgrace our city and advertise
us as absolutely in the power of the
grafters. There would be no fear Of
the outcome if all Of the voters were
familier with the history of the last
few years in Kenosha, but they are
not and it is the duty of every man
who has dollars worth of property
or any kind Of an interest in the
future of the city to see to it that
every new conner is fully informed of
the situation before he casts his
ballot

THE Rev. Mr.. Baisler is displaying
great moral courage in the search
for the men who have been ma1igning
him. Few men have the stamina to
take action against their traducers
as he has done and many prefer to
suffer in silence rather than attempt
the almost hopeless task of tracing
the source of scandal that has been
circulated against them. If Mr..
Bdisler succeeds in putting the fear
of possible consequences into the
scandal mongers whose only interest
in life appears to be the dissemina-
betters, he will have performed a
great public service.

WANTED
State Jobs go a Begging Owing
to Shortage Of Candidates
for Civil Examinations
ONLY FIVE AT THE LAST TEST

There is dearth of applicants for
positions under the state civil service,
and for this reason the call has been
sent to all the assembly districts in
the state for another examination.
Principal Hooking of the Kenosha
High school, who is the secretary of
the local district has announced that
the examination for Kenosha county
will be held at the court house on
March 6.
At the last examination which was
the first under the new state law, but
five applicants appeared for examin-
alton, and if Kenosha county expects
to get it's share of the p1ums in the
way of state offices more of the young
people of the county must get on the
eligible list. The only way to get on
the list is to take the examination.
There are dozen Offices in Kenosha
county which are under the state
civil service commission and if Keno
sha county people do not care to take
the examination for these offices the
places will be given to residents of
other counties in the state,
The official call sent out by the local
commissioners states that the ex-
animation is for the purpose Of get
ting an eligible list from which is to
be appointed deputy oil inspector,
deputy game wardens, police for the
capitol and other state buildings at
Madison, janitors for state buildings
and for the university of Wisconsin,
state dairy and food inspectors, in
spectors of bakeries, and special
agents for the state in various capac-
tiles.
There is no limit as to residence for
these Offices and any or all Of the Of
fees may be filed by Kenosha county
men if they pass the examination and
get on the eligible list The reports
Of the last examination have not as
yet been made public but they will be
made public before the next test. APP
p1ications must be filed with the COM
missioners before March A.

A GOOD many of the voters are be-
ginning to wake up to the fact that a
very real danger threatens the city
and the prospects for a satisfactory
outcome of the municipal election
this spring are becoming brighter
every day. If the people once begin
to take enough interest to scrutinize
the records of some of the candidates
there need be no fears of the result.
1t is hard work, as Z, general rule, to
get them to take any interest in mu-
nicipal affairs, as long as things go
smoothly on the surface, but when
they do they can protect themselves
and the city.

THE Chicago and Milwaukee evil
IDENTIFY has no doubts about getting
into Milwaukee, and the work of Sc
curing its right of way north from
this city is being pushed with all pos
fible speed. Numerous condemnation
suits have been started, but it is
likely that most of the right of way
will be secured without court pro-
ceedings. The company has always
shown disposition to deal fairly with
the property owners, and to leave
them satisfied with the prices paid for
their lands, if possible, and this lib
eral policy will undoubtedly be fol-
lowed out in purchasing the right of
way to the north. If all goes well
Kenosha people will have new line
to Milwaukee by this time next year.

THE full value assessment law is
good law or rather il would be if it
was rigidly enforced all over the state
bat it is somewhat discouraging for
the counties which have enforced the
law to the letter and whose assess
ments are up to over ninety per cent
of actual selling value to find that
their neighboring counties have paid
no attention whatever to che law and
that their assessments are just as low
or lower than before the law was
passed. The de1inquents will have
to be brought to time in some way or
the full assessment counties will have
to get down to their level. It will not
do to leave adjustments to the board

Winthrop Harbor Man Robbed of Robe
And Thief Escapes to Kenosha


Winthrop Harbor had taste of
real excitement Friday afternoon
when a man by the name of Ander
son stole valuable robe from one
of the residents of the town and
managed to escape to Kenosha. The
fellow had driven to Winthrop Harbor
from Zion City and as he was passing
through the town he reached out and
captured the robe which was in a
buggy standing along the road. The
crime was seen by number Of people
and these jumped into buggies and
started in pursuit, but Anderson had
a good horse and managed to distance
his pursuers. When the Winthrop
Harbor men found that the chase
a hopeless one they stopped at a
farm house and telephoned to the
police Of the city. Officers were sent
out to await the arrival of Anderson
and all roads were closely watched
lbnt the thief was too crafty ard he
did not make an entrance to the city,.
/ The robe was valued aften dollars. y
