IT will be a serious mistake for the
Republicans not to have full ticket
in the field at the coming election.
Even in some of the wards where it
looks as If there was little chance to
win, there should be full tickets, if
only for the purpose Of getting out
the vote. And some of the candi-
dates may not be leading such for
lorn hope as they now suppose. This
looks like Republican year and there
may be some surprises when the votes
are counted.

A CURIOUS ERROR

Sick Mans Mistake Causes Wrong
Name on Burial Certificate
Frank supranski, who resides on
the North side, is one of the few men
IN the world who has had the pleasure
OF reading his own obituary. The no.
tice of hissdeath occurred in the paper
Friday evening and Supranski sat
about hisLlhearthstone Friday night
and joked''with the friends who had
dropped in5sto attend the wake. It
was probablysEthe jolliest wake ever
known in ,Kenosha.
The killing off'i,of Supranski came
as result of strange chain of cir
cumstances. Charles Linch, an Aus
trian, had sbeen a boarder at the SUI
pranskis home, and when a physician
was called he was given the name
Crank Supranski." Later, when it
became necessary to remove tne man
to the hospital, Che entered that insti-
tuition under the name Supranski, and
when he died he was turned over to
the undertaken and his death certif-
cate was made out in the name of
nksSupranski.
In the meantime the real Supranski
was at work insthe tannery and he did
not know2of his alleged death until
his friends called in the evening. He
at once sent ENJOYS to the undertaken
to prevent his being buried and the
undertaken spromptly corrected the
error. Supranski took the whole
thing asia joke, and while he is the
1iveliest corpse ever known in Keno
sha, he hsrbors no i'll will against the
people who weres unconscious1y re-
sponsib1esfor the error.

No one who buys meat has much
sympathy with the big packers in
their troubles with the government,
but they are entitled to a square
deal" for all that, and no government
employee who received information
about their business under a pledge
of secrecy should be required to go
on the witness stand and tell what
was given him in confidence. It was
questionable taste for government
employee to make such pledges, but
having once made them he should
keep them.

THE annual reports of the insurance
companies make what Horace Greedy
used to call "migh ty interesting read
ing" for the policy holders and the
chances are that these documents
come nearer telling the truth this year
than they have for some time. The
companies have nothing to conceal
in the reports when there is liable to
be competent Investigating commit
tee checking upt the statements. One
bad result of the insurance agitation
is shown in the reports and that is a
whole lot of insurance is being can
ce1led. This is foolish. The inyesti-
cations have shown the big companies
to be entirely solvent and the chances
are that investors in life insurance
will get larger return on their in
vestments now than ever before. II
is unfortunate that so many have mis-.
taken the attacks on the management
of the big companies for criticism
of the principle of life insurance, but
it is certain that the great majority
of those who are cancelling their
policies now will be taking out new
ones within FIVE years.

ANY packer can give plausible ex-
PLANTATION and quote figures by the
yard to prove his contention, but the
fact remains that cattle are getting
cheaper and the price of beef going
up right along. And this too when
the packers have learned to use every
bye product, and the returns from
every animal must be greater than
ever before in the history of the pack
ing business. The packers are max
ing steadily increasing profit, and
neither the farmers nor the consum-
ers are getting any of the benefits of
modern methods used in the packing
business.

WHEN the suggestion was first made
that Chicago increase it's saloon
license it was laughed at. The inter-
ests supposed to be all powerful ia
that city were opposed and that set
tied it. There could be no increase.
The men who favored the increase
were not so sure, however. They
went to the people and last night the
Chicago council passed an ordinance
doubling the license by decisive
majority. This case is merely cited
to show that the power to regulate
conditions still remains with the peo-
pie. When they really want anything
they get it every time.

to be possible for the intelligent and

Details Of Sale ofthe Allen Plant
Show That Price Paid Own
ers was SIS, 96l, 474.O0
CENTRAL LEATHER TAKES ALL
Kenosha Men Who had Managed the
Big Plant Will Retain But Five
Directors Shares in the Business
Established by Kenosha Men

After many months the details of
the big sale Of the Allen tannery to
the Central Leather company have
been made public, and these show
that the new holding company paid
SO, o61, 474.OO for the Kenosha plant.
Il is the biggest deal ever consum-
mated in Kenosha.
A semi-officia1 announcement of the
deal has been made in the Wall Street
Journal of New York. In this state
ment it is shown that the Central
Leather company has purchased all
of the @capital stock of the Kenosha
company with the exception of the
five shares held by the directors of
the company.
When the company was incorpor-
ated under the laws of Wisconsin
there were three directors, but re-
FIVE. The directors of the company
are: Charles w. Allen, Nathan Allen,
3. C. Theirs, Matthias Werve and
Charles Chester Allen. The total
capital stock of the company was
placed at $500, 900 and the stock bought
by the Central Leather company is
said to have been 1895 shares. The
price paid for this stock was SIS, 461,
474.OO and in addition to this large
consideration it is stated that the
Central Leather company paid
further sum of million and half
for the good will of the former
owners.
In making the deal it is stated that
the value of the real estate and the
machinery of the company was placed
at million dollars and the remainder
of the purchase price was for stock
on hand at the time the purchase
was made. This statement shows
that Charles and Nathan Allen have
practically sold out their entire hold
ings, as they retain simply a single
share each as directors of the COM
pany. For some time it is stated that
the business has been under the
direction of the new owners.
Both Nathan and Charles w. Allen
nave USCH C1SClCu " P1dCCS Ill LklG
directorate Of the Central Leather
company and Nathan Allen has been
suggested as a possible president for
the big organization. He has ans
nounced, however, that he will not
accept this Office under any considera-,
ton at this time.
The Kenosha plant is by far the
largest purchase by the Central
Leather company and it is understood
that plans are being made for making
the plant even larger. The men now
employed have received no notifca-
ton Of any proposed changes in the
force of managers and it is not
thought that changes will be made
Most of the men have been connected
with the business of the Kenosha
plant for many years and they are so
well acquainted with the details of
the business that it is not thought
that it would be a good business
policy to make a general change.
Ever since the deal for the transfer
of the tannery was made on the first
of last October people have been
specializing on the price which the
Kenosha men received for the plant
and this is the first statement Of any
kind that has been made.

IF there was any real danger that
some of the men who are going to
make try for nomination at the
coming primaries would ever get
control of the city it would be heap
sight cheaper in the long run for the
taxpayers of Kenoshs to go down into
their pockets and dig up enough to
hire them to leave town. Furthermore,
if the time ever comes when such
drastic measures are the only saliva
ton for the city, there need be no
delicacy about opening negotiations.
There is abundant evidence that the
men to be dealt with have no grounds
totake offense at any offer that might
be made them.
