THE sad death of the little Lama
boy should be enough to create such a
public sentiment in favor of the strict
enforcement of the laws against the
sale of toy pistols aud dangerous ex-
p1osives, that other accidents of the
kind viii be rare occurrences. It is
nonsense to say that the sale of these
dangerous toys to children cannot be
stopped. The sales will be stopped
just as soon as public opinion is edu-
Gated up to the point where it will
back up the enforcement of the law.

GET NELSON HORSE
Animal Stolen from Kenosha two
Weeks ago Recovered in Chi
cage, it Having been Sold
HORSE THIEF MAKES ESCAPE

One horse stolen from Kenosha has
been recovered and Frank Nelson,
the livery man, went TO Chicago to-
day 10 replevin the animal which was
stolen from his barn here more than
two weeks ago. The horse had been
sold to real estate dealer residing at
the corner of Clark street and Chicago
avenue.
The man who stole the horse has
managed to escape, but the officers
are close on his trail and he may be
landed before the day is over. A
warrantsfor the arrest of the man has
been placed in the hands of Chicago
police officers sand detectives and as
they have a sgood description of the
man it is probable that they will land
him.
The man who purchased the horse
was met on the street by Charles
Pacini, of Kenosha, and he at once
recognized the animal as the one
which had been stolen from the Nell
son barn. He followed the horse and
discovered that the man had pur-
chased it two days ago from a stran-
ger. The thief had asked SIS for the
animaltand it was at once purchased,
but theEpurehaser suspecting that all
was not right paid the man but $35
and he was to return for the re-
n1ainder of the money later in the
week. It is safe to say that the fell
low will never return
The police believe that the horse
and the thief have been in hiding in
the western part of the county since
the day the animal was stolen until
the day before the horse was sold in
Chicago.
Nelson will probably have no trouble
recovering the horse, but he may be
forcedsto pay the amount back to the
real estate man IN order TO save the
long delay of an action in court. The
horse was valued at $500.

THIS hot weather is liable to pro-
duce mad dog scare any day. Have
the authorities taken that ounce Of
prevention, which is wortn pound
of cure, by making a general round
up of homeless and unlicensed ours?
The merciful dog owner does not
want to muzzle his dog but that is
what the public will demand at the
first sign of trouble among the dogs,
and the dog owners, instead of oppos-
ing the enforcement of the license or
finance, as some of them do now,
should be the first to assist the police
in exterminating the unlicensed ami
mails and thus decrease the chances Of
an outbreak.

Democrats Of The State in Con-
yention Assembled lay Down
Platform for Campaign
MERTON FAVORED FOR LEADER
No Vote is Taken on Candidates Bnt
Bryan is Endorsed for Presidency
by a Large Majority of
the Delegates

After celebrating until after 2
O'Clock this morning over the various
planks submitted for consideration,
the committee on resolutions of the
Democratic state convention finally
agreed upon a platform. It also
drafted resolutions strongly indorsing
William Jennings Bryan for the pres
idency and pledging him the support
of Wisconsin, Democrats in 1908. The
platform and the resolutions we're
submitted at the session this morn
ing. The platform is substantially
as follows:
It affirms the right to assemble in
convention as constitutional privi-
1ege not to be taken away by statute.
It reafirms the national platform
relating to trusts and their control.
Tariff for revenue only is advo-
Gated.
Declares for the withdrawal from
the market of all government land
containing oil or coal.
Favors an amendment to the con-
stitution permitting the enactment Of
an income tax.
Reaf6rms the policy Of the Demo
cratic party upon the Philippine
question.
Calls for the election of United
States senators by popular vote.
Fayors government control and reg
u1ation Of public service corporations.
Favors the enactment Of law au-
thorizing the railroad rate commits
sion of the state to initiate rates.
Favors legislation for the purchase
of public service corporations by mu-
inequalities and the right to purchase
or construct such utilities and to
authorize indebtedness for such pnr-
poses beyond the constitutional limit
of S per cent.
Demands 2 cent maximum passen-
ger fare in Wisconsin.
Demands change in legislation
favorable to the establishment of the
comparative negligence liability in
personal injury cases.
Demands equality Of taxation.
Declares for the primary election
principle, but suggests anne ndmeuts
in the law as it now lands.
Declares in favor Of good schools
and good roads.
Condemns the Republican admins
tration for it's perversion of the trust
funds of the state repaid to the state
by the federal government and calls
for the payment of the war tax certi-
fcates of indebtedness.
While the convention took no steps
to name any candidates for Office, it
was evident from the expression of
the delegates that Senator Merton, of
will be favorite when
the primary election is held
Louis Bohmrich, formerly of Keno
sha, was also spoken of for governor,
but his support was small in COM
parison with that accorded to the
Waukesha senator.
The members of the Kenosha dele
cation were in evidence at the con-
vention and several Of them made
speeches.
The convention revealed the fact
that the Democrats of Wisconsin are
in favor of the nomination of William
Jennings Bryan for president and the
feeling for him was almost unanimous.
At the meeting of the First district
caucus, held on Wednesday, Calvin
Stewart, of this city, was the score
tary Of the caucus. None Of the Ke-
nosha delegates WAS appointed on
committees.

Bachelors Resort on Park Street the
Scene of an Unusual Robbery
Think of it, a bachelor having his
pockets frisked. This would prob
ably mean nothing to the ordinary
married man, but Hans Olesen, who
lives with FIVE other bachelors at a
house on Park street, raises a noisy
objection, and has made complaint to
to the police that his trousers were
robbed while he slept last night, and
that some one one managed to get
away with eight silver dollars.
The man has no clue to the identity
of the man who was so unkind, but
the police are keeping a pretty close
watch on several suspected parties.
