SECRETARY OF STATE ASSURES
SISTER REPUBLIC OF OUR
FRIENDSHIP NO OLD
SCORES TO SETTLE.

Buenos Ayres.-At the official ban
quet at the government house by Pres
ident Alcorta in honor of Secretary
Root, to which only the diplomatic
corps and high officers of state We're
invited, the secretary made what was
considered the most important speech
he has delivered while on his tour.
Rising to tender the secretary an
oMc'al welcome, and proposing the
health Of Mr.. Root, the president
traced the similarity in the constitu-
tons, progress, and success in over
coming obstacles, of North and South
America. He dwelt especially on the
mutual advantages of closer friend
ship between the races.
Mr.. Root, in replying to the official
welcome, thanked the president in be-
half Of President Roosevelt and the
millions OF citizens In the United
States Then he said:
I'VE inherit the right to be inter-
ested in the Argentine Republic, and
to be proud of the Argentine people.
Stands for Monroe Doctrine.
From the time when Benjamin
Rush was fighting, from the day when
James Monroe threw down the gaunt-
let of weak republic, we were then
in defense of its Independence and
rights, and from that day to this the
interest and the friendship of the peo-
pie of the United States for the Argen-
tine Republic have never changed
We rejoice in your prosperity. We
are proud of your achievements. We
feel that you are justifying our faith
In free government and self-gOvern-
ment; that you are maintaining our
great thesis which demands the pos
session, the enjoyment and the control
of the earth to the people who inhabit
it. So how can the people of the
United States help feeling a friend
ship and sympathy for the people of
Argentina?
Il deemed it duty to come in re-
sponse to your kind invitation to say
this and TO say that there is not a
cloud in the sky of good understand
ing. There are no political questions
at issue between Argentina and the
United States. There is no thought
OF grievance by one against the other.
There are no old grudges or scores to
settle.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
Italian Workman Meets Terrible
Death IN New West Line of
the northwestern Co.
HEAD SEVERED FROM BODY

William Ryan, 1aborer employed
on the grading crew OF the new North
Western line north of the county line,
was struck and terribly mangled by a
northbound St. Paul passenger train
from Chicago which passed through
that vicinity at 9 O'Clock Friday
evening.
The accident occurred less thar 100
feet from the depot a Corliss and the
mans body was not found for a half
an hour afterwards.
The train was going at the rate of
seventy miles an hour and so terrific
was the impact that Ryan's head
was literally torn from his body and
hurled 200 feet further up the road,
While the trunk was thrown between
the two tracks. His lungs were also
torn out. One of his arms was cut off
and every bone in his body broken.
The train proceeded on its way
without stopping, as none of the crew
was aware Of the shocking accident.
The discovery of the remains was
made by c. F. Kimbal1, a resident of
Corliss, about half hour after the
train went through, aud another hour
was spent in searching for the mans
head.
Justice Lee, of Corliss, empaneled
"a coroner's jury, and after viewing
the remains an adjournment was
taken, but the subsequent inquest de-
veloped nothing new, and verdict
was rendered according to the facts
in the case.
Ryan, in company with several other
men from the grading crew, was in
Corliss most of the afternoon and was
under the Ninfiaence of liquor when
last seen. Tt is supposed that he wan
dered on to the track while in that
condition and failed to see the train
coming.
His identity was not established
until today, as no papers of any kind
were found on the body, and the re-
mains were SO disfgured that no one
recognized them. The body was
taken to Racine and prepared for
burial.

IF man wants to buy o1eomarger-
inc, and knows that he is getting cleo,
and not butter, that is his business.
And why is it any worse to color
o1eonargerin than it is to color but
ter, always providing that no attempt
is made to palm off the colored cleo as
the real dairy. When you get right
down to the facts in the case, the use
of any coloring matter whatever in
either product is to certain extent a
fraud on the consumer, and the sim
plest way out of this never ending
controversy between the farmer and
the packer would be to absolutely.
prohibit both from using coloring.
The law is not going to hold that col
oloring, which is regarded as harmless
in butter, immediately becomes harm
full when used in oleomargerine.

A coon ola f.st;onad sne,t;n =,

A GOOD old fashioned speaking cam
paign with plenty of hurrah boys and
band music is just what this county
needs to wake the voters from their
apathy. And if the campaign COM
mittees succeed in getting up a little
excitement the candidates on the Re
publican ticket need have no fear of
the result. A hot campaign cannot
fail to help the Republican ticket, for
that party has a greater proportion of
voters who need to have their atten-
ton called to the fact that there is an
election coming on than any other.

GET BOLD INTRUDER
Officers Of the Police Force Cap.
ture Night Marauder at Home
on Park Place
SPURS FOR BRAVE POLICEMEN

Police Officers Biennemann and
Nelson, of the local police force, won
their spurs this morning just after
one O'Clock when they captured dar-
ing night marauder at the home of
Matthias Werve at the corner of Dem
ing and Park avenue. 1t had been a
quiet night at the station and when a
telephone message was received from
the Werve home declaring that burg
lars were making an effort to invade
the exclusive precincts of Park Place,
Biennemann, who was in charge of
the office, hurriedly summoned Nelson
and the two started for the Werve
home with determination in their
faces.
Once at the house they learned that
the people III the house had heard the
marauder and that it was thought
that he was attempting to force an
entrance into the home of Fred Gott-
fredsen adjoining the Werve home.
The officers with mysterious lights
and signals made their way cautious
ly about the house but found nothing.
About this time the noise was heard
in the pantry of the Werve home and
Desk Man Biennemann demanded
that the back door be opened ard the
two officers prepared to rush IN on
the intruder. Drawing their revo1vers
and pushing the buttons on the cleo
trio search lights, the men entered
and demanded that the burglar sur
render in the name of the law. The
burgl4f failed to reply and moving
forward cautiously the officers en-
tered the n try Way over in the
corner they heard something move
and making a closer examination they
found one little mouse caught in
trap. In the agony Of death the
mouse had pushed the trap about the
room and this noise had been taken
for the work Of burglars attempting
to make an entrance into the house
The mouse was carried out In triumph
and the officers sheathed their guns
and returned to the less exciting work
of patrolling Main street.

CLUB HOUSE BURNED

Kenosha Sportsmen Lose by Work of
Incendiaries on O'Plane River
Members Of the Kenosha Gun club,
who own the club house erected on
the banks of the O'Plane river less
than year ago, received word this
morning that the house had been
burned to the ground on Thursday
evening. The loss is in the neighbour
hood of three hundred dollars with no
insurance. This is the second house
built on the site to be burned down,
and the members of the club have
asked the sheriff of the county to
make every possible effort to discover
the identity of the guilty parties.
Members of the club seem to think
that the house was fired by3peop1e re-
siding IN the neighborhood who had
objected to the club using the house.
There was nothing in the house ex-
cept couple of boats and there had
been no fire in it for months so the
members insist that there wassno way
for It to be burned except for some
one to have set fire to it.
The members of the club have
offered steward for the arrest Of
thespeople connected with the burning
of the club house.

the supreme court we may begin to
have faint idea Of where we are at"
on the primary election law. For a

the collective wisdom Of sundry great

Legislature. It will have to be re-
vised in several important particulars
at the next session.

NEW MEAT INSPECTION LAW

Shippersof slaughtered animals will
be interested in the new federal meat
inspection law, which went into effect
the first of this month. By its terms
all butchers who ship slaug htered
cattle outside the state must be pro
vided with a number and have what
are known as exemption certificates,
which state that the animal so s1aught-
cred is known to be in aealthfu1 con-
dition and is fit for human food. The
law provides that these must be given
to the common carrier who retains one
and sends the counter part to the
bureau of animal industry at Wash
ington. No animals will be accepted
by the express companies unless this
provision OF the law is complied with
The same is true with respect tothe
farmers who ship, and his certificate
must state that the animals so
slaughtered on his farm are hea1thfu1
and fit for human food. The farmer
lis no. required to be registered. In
formation and blanks may be secured
from A. b. Behnke, inspector, bureau
Of animal industry, Milwaukee.

JUST because it is now too late to do
any work on the street this fall, it is
not too late to cinch the contract
which will provide for the paving of
West Main street with the railway
company. And it may be everlast-
ingly too late in the spring, if the
council finally makes up its mind then
to do anything. The railway COM
pany may withdraw its offer any day.
There is a mistaken impression that
the railway company can be forced to
pay its proportion of the cost of the
paving whenever the city gets ready
to order the Improvement, just like a
private property owner, but such is
not the case. The offer of the. COM
pany is purely voluntary, and if it is
not accepted now the city cannot
force the company to pay anything at
any time in the future.

THE Civic Federation may only be
picking out something easy for a
starter in the campaign against vice,
but to the writer it looks a good deal
like straining at gnat and swallow
ing camel to go after the slot ma
chimes in a city where so many saloon
keepers make regular practice Of
selling liquor to minors. A vigorous
and relentless campaign against this
practice would win more friends and
supporters for the federation than
any one thing its officials could under
take. Stranger things have hap
pened than to find some of the saloon
men themselves standing shoulder to
shoulder with the federation in light
to protect the boys of the city.

On one of the busiest streets of the
city the public has been practically
barred off a section Of the sidewalk
since the 10Th of April just because a
new building is being erected. For
all but single week of this time
there is no good reason why tenn
porary walk should not have beer put
in for the accommodation of the
thousands that pass that point daily,
and the fact that the people have
meekly waded through the mud Of the
streets all this time without register
ing an effective kick proves that Ke-
nosha has the best natured population
on earth.

III the officers of the Outdoor Art
Association want to accomplish some
real practical good, let them get after
the candidates who are defacing the
telegraph and telephone poles with
their Autographs. The poles are un-
slightly enough to give them good
grounds for action. The proper Off
Gals do not seem inclined to enforce
the city ordinance, which provides a
penalty for defacing the poles with
advertising matter, and the Associa-
ton can not only teach them their
duty, but it also may be able to teach
the candidates that the city laws are
meant to apply to them as well as
everybody else. AS for the candi-
dates, they are setting bad example
to say the least. Here are the very
men who are asking the people to
trust them with the enforcement Of
the law deliberately violating the law
themselves. They may regard it as a
small matter, but it shows the voters
what may be expected of them if they
get into office, and the voters may
think twice before entrusting public
business to men who carry the idea
that they are privileged to obey the
law themselves or not just as they
please.
