In Postmaster Generals Report


Increased Pay for Carriers Also Urged
In Postmaster Generals Report
According to the report of the
fourth assistant postmaster general
there are now in Wisconsin 1,45O
rural mail routes; seventy were added
during the last fiscal year and two
discontinued. There are petitions
for eighty-two routes pending.
The report would have the maxi
mum salary of rural carriers in
creased so that they may be paid not
exceeding 5000 per annum, and recon
mends further that legislation be
enacted requiring the following con-
ditions precedent to the establishment
of rural delivery service: (a) That
there shall be possible patronage of
100 families on each standard route
of twenty-four miles or proportions
ate number of families on shorter
routes. (b) That roads must be in
good condition, unobstructed by
gates, with all streams bridged or
fordable at all ordinary seasons of
the year. (c) That in completing
service in a county the average
patronage per route may be not less
than 80 families. (d) That service
on rural routes be 1in1itedsto not ex-
ceeding one delivery and one col1ec-
ton daily to be made at the same
time.

AFTER WULFF SITE
Government Agent Said to Favor
the Wulff Property as Loca-
+ ton for New Pcstoffice
GOVERNMENT CAN CONDEMN


James A. Wettmore, chief of the
law and record department. of the
supervising architects office, has not
as yet completed his Investigations in
Kenosha and it is probable that he
will be back in this city before his
return to Washington. Before leav-
ing Kenosha Mr.. Wettmore dropped
remark which seemed to indicate
that he was in favor of placing the
proposed government building west
of Main street and it is known that
he regarded with favor the property
owned by A. Wulff at the corner of
Wisconsin and Church streets. The
WulE property was not offered to the
government at the time bids were
originally received but before Mr..
Wettmore left the city he received a
private offer from Wulff by which it
was stated that the government might
have the property for SIS, 600. This
price is regarded as pretty high by
Wettmore and he had something to
Psay in regard to the powers Of the
public buildings. He eveu went SO
far as to say that he thought the
property could be secured at a lower
price If it we're condemned.
The Wulf property was the first
property picked out by many people
as the site for the proposed public
building, but it has been claimed from
the first that the price was SO high
that the Government would be un-
wiling to put this amount into a site.
While the business men of the CITY
would like to have the office located as
near to Main street as possible, there
is no denying the fact that the
growth in the population of the city is
toward the west and that ultimately
the center of the city will be far from
Main street. This was one of the
things brought out by Mr.. Wettmore
IN favor of a site to the west Of Main
street, and he is supported in his
view by many business men. At the
present time it would be a convenient
thing to have the office near Main
street, but the building is to be built
forthe future, and for this reason it
IS more than possible that it will 90
west. Mr.. Wettmore will make an
effort to have the Kenosha building
the first one on the Wisconsin list and
he hopes to have work started in the
early spring.

ENDORSE ROBINSON
Civic Federation Votes to En-
dorse Ex-AIderman in Fight
Against Gambling
WANT HEATING SUSPENDED

The Board of Directors of the Keno
sha Civic Federation placed their
seal of approval on the action of w.
H. Robinson in securing the arrest of
prominent gambling men last night
when the Board passed a resolution
endorsing the action of Robinson and
decided to lend every possible aid in
the prosecution of the men arrested.
The directors did not stop with en-
dorsing the action of Robinson but
they passed resolution which had
for its purport the removal of John E.
Heating from the office of police and
fire commissioner as long as the
charges against him are pending.
The directors decided to send COM
munication to Mayor German and ask
him to suspend Heating from office.
This action will not be taken until
later in the week as it is thought pos
sible that Heating may resign or be
suspended by the mayor without de-
nand from the directors.
The directors decided to postpone
Tic PuOllC IuCClIuS Wu1Cu was 10 nave
been held on Friday evening and it
will be held some time after the
Christmas season. At this meeting
prominent attorneys of the city will
be invited to speak and state their
views on the enforcement of law in
! Kenosha.
The recent trial of Louis Beals, on
charge of selling liquor to minors,
is to beexploited by the Federation and
to this end the directors have ordered
that the evidence in the case be pub
lished for circulation among the peo-
pie of the city who may be interested
in the work of the Federation. It is
claimed that this publication will
show that the Federation did not act
hastily in the case as has been charged
by some people.
Before the business meeting, DR.. J,
L. Cleary, the President of the Board,
delivered an interesting address in
which he warmly urged the directors
to give their best powers to the en-
forcement of the laws in Kenosfa.

State Superintendent Of Schools
Attends School Board Conven.
ton in kenosha To- day
GOOD WORD FOR TEACHERS
Second Annual Gathering of Members
of the Rural Boards Draws
Large Crowd TO the Court
House This Morning

State Superintendent G. p. Cary, Of
Madison, was the guest of honor at
the second annual convention of the
School Boards of the towns of Keno
sha county held at the Court House
today, and more than hundred of
the members of the different boards
attended the meeting and listened at
tentively to the addresses of the State
uperintendent.
| AT the morning session of the com
vention Mr.. Cary spoke on the sub
ject, 1.-THE School Board and the
Teachers Mr. Cary made a strong
plea for closer relation between the
teacher and the Board and declared
that it was the duty of the members of
the Board to look after the work being
done by the teachers and to make such
criticisms as were deemed necessary.
! He spoke of the methods taken in IL
censing the teachers and declared
that the State Department carefully
scrutinized the work done by the
| teachers IN the rural districts before
they granted licenses from the de-
partment. He stated it was a duty
that the Board owed to the teacher to
appear at stated intervals and file
such criticism as it had with the
teacher before it was filed with the
officials. He urged the members of
the Board to beware of circulating
any stories about their districts in re-
i gard to the teachers personal or pro-
fessional conduct. He paid tribute
to Wisconsin teachers when he said
that he had found that large num-
Der of the stories circulated against
them were mere idle gossip, and that
i in most cases the characters of Wis
consln teachers were above reproach.
he declared that the boards should
take immediate steps to see that the
teachers were tidy in their work, and
that the rooms and buildings in which
/ they taught we're kept in clean and
sanitary condition. He declared that
the conditioned the school-room was
/ one Of the best indications of the
+ ability of the teacher. He spoke Of
improved methods of teaching, and
said that modern methods in the
school-room had been found good, and
that the board should not complain
! against the methods because they
were different from those used years
ago. He urged that the board should
show the teacher an appreciation Of
good work, and let her. know that the
board would be glad to have her back
for another year if her work had beer
satisfactory.

Cary spoke of the Financial Man
Iagement of the Rural Schools"
/ Before the address of Superinten

John .. kerwin gave very interest
ing address on 1.-THE improvements

directed to leave no stone unturned to

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on it's
axis once In each twenty-four hours.
but few, however, have any idea of the
high rate of speed OF which such an i'm
mense ball must turn in order to ac-
complish the feat of making one revo-
luton in a day and night. graphic
idea of the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps up year after year may be
had by comparing its speed to that of
n cannon ball fired from a modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity ever
attained by such missile has been es-
timated at 1925 feet per second. which
is equal to mile in 2-10 seconds.
The earth in making one complete
revolution in the short space of TWEEN
ty-four hours must turn with velocity
almost exactly equal to that of the
cannon ball. In short. Its rate Of speed
at the equator is exactly 1907 feet per
second This is equal to II miles p
minute.

At meeting of the board of directors of
National Biscuit Co., held May 10 at New
York, Frank A. Kennedy was elected 3
director. The election of Mr.. Kennedy
introduces new element into the direct
DRY, and restores to active participation in
the Biscuit business one OF the pioneers of
the industry. Mr.. Kennedy for many
years conducted in Cambridgeport, Mass,
the extensive business established by his
father, and afterwards established in
Chicago an equally important and success
sui plant.
His business at both points was pur-
chased early in 1890 by the New York
Biscuit Co., since which Mr.. Kennedy has
been practically retired.
The value of the name is attested by the
fact that, notwithstanding their purchase
by the New York Biscuit Co. and subse-
quently by National Biscuit Co., both
plants are still known as Kennedy biscuit
works.

The Empresses of Russia.

During the eighteenth century no less
than four expresses held sway over
Russia. and If perhaps the throne was
unjustly usurped In more than one in
stance 1t can at least be said of all of
them that they reigned more wisely
than the emperors of that period and
that they have left names more famous
than those of their male predecessors
and successors. With all her many
faults Catherine the Great proved a
wise and powerful monarch, and much
that disfigured her history may be for
gotten. seeing that she almost totally
abolished the custom of subjecting all
Russian prisoners to a system of ghast-
ly torture besides repeating many 9th

into harbor, clearing every dangerous rock
and shoal. Uncle Silas was beneficent
beyond what he ever knew.
1t is very low water and the bar between
the mainland and Preble's island is bare.
We cannot proceed to Uncle divers on Il
direct course. We must pass out by
the outer or ofs-shore point of the island,
passing within biscuit-toss OF the place of
my discomfort. But the several captains
(who are engaged in discussion over some
marine problem connected with this part
of the bay) and the ladies OF our party,
know nothing OF what is passing in my
mind.
Uncle divers is not now far away-less
than two miles in direct line, 1 should
Judge; but to get there we must still run
circuitous course, avoiding shosl, bar and
weir. In due time we find ourselves and
craft entering the cove opposite Uncle
divers house. Uncle Oliver sees us
coming, and so he is on his way to the
shore to direct us where to land. He does
not come down direct, however, and we
wonder why he is bearing off so far to the
left. Presently he shouts to us, telling us
where to land; but Joe thinks he can land
just as well straight ashore; and so ig-
nores his uncle's advice. We find out
when it is too late, when we are making
our way up to his house, that Uncle
Oliver knew best; and that IL we had
taken his advice would have saved climb
ing fences and jumping bitches, having a
good road all the way; but while Joe is
noble fellow, be is little stubborn, withal,
perhaps.
