POLITICAL VULTURES

Now that the white dove of peace is
threatening to perch over the battle
ments of the Republican party in
Wisconsin there is certain class of
men who are frantically swinging
their arms ia an effort to force away
the dove and prevent the coming of
harmony to the grand old party.
These men are the political vultures
who have lived for the last four years
through the strife Gin the party and
they feel that their place of profit is
slipping away just as surely as peace
again reigns. The vu1tures are seen
about every political battle field steal
ing the spoils of sbatt1e from the
victors and pouring out contumely on
the heads Of the unfortunates who
lost. To these men peace means
ruin. They have held positions in
the gift of the people simply because
they were willing to do the dirty work
of men who soughtshigher emoluments
from the strife. So long as these
men see chance for profit they will
do every thing in theirspower to keep
up the political strife which has set
neighbor against neigbor and brother
against brother.
The careers Of these men are ended
for the good senselof the Republicans
Iof Wisconsin will prevail and the
chickering's Of the past will be laid
aside to welcome the coming Of a
grander and stronger party.
The Republican party in Wisconsin
will again be united and the name OF
Sta1wart and Half Breed will become
only b1ights on the history Of the
party. Under the banner Of equal
rights, for all and a. square deal for
Ieyery man as proclaimed by Cover
nor Davidson, the party WILL go for
ward to even greater trium phs. The
political vu1turesswho have fed aMItfle
I public crib on account oftthe strife,
will be cast aside and in their places
will be put men who are worthy OF
the confidence of the people.
Whatever else cam be said Of the
result of the primary election, it IS an
emphatic declaration on the part OF
the Republicans of the state that the
time for peace and lasting peace has
come ] i The man. who Wou1d hinTd s
this psace has r. none Of the inter &
| ests Of his party or state at heart.

ONE Of our western reform gov
errors had engaged himself to speak
in certain city in Northern Wiscon-
sin fora $500. He was a drawing
card" andl had been largely adver-
tised, when he wrote cancelling the
engagement. He was told It was i'm
possible to cancel, as the committee
in charge had promised the people he
would be there and sold them tickets.
The outcome of it was that after sew
era1 kilograms had been exchanged
he agreed to fulfill his contract if they
would add another 500 to his pay.
The committee had to do it. This is
the. character of too many of the Ere
formers" nowadays. No wonder the

SOME SANE METHODS

The Sheridan Drive proposition, an
old sore spot in the minds OF the
farmers in the western part of the
lake shore counties of Wisconsin, is
coming to the front again, but the
men who are now urging the building
of the road have conceived some sane
methods which will probably appeal
to the people. The first principle laid
down by these men is that not a cent
of the cost of the road shall be borne
by men who are not directly bene-
fitted. The plan now is to build the
road by the gifts of men who are in
terested in good roads. Captain Will
liam M. Lewis, of Racine, has signi-
fed willingness to give $40, 900 to the
fund and when the time comes to dig
down the north shore will find that
no men will dig deeper into their
pockets than the men in Kenosha
who will have use for the road. What
is most needed just at the present
time is to find the man with spirit and
energy to take hold of the project and
get the plan working. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars can be raised if
the right man takes hold of the work
Of raising it. The value Of the road
to Kenosha is admitted, but this ad-
mission will not build the road.
Brains and money will be needed.
Money to build the road and brains to
get the money.

RACINE WINS FIRST
School Boys from Racine Defeat
Kenosha Base Ball Team in
First Game Of Series.
SHADY PLAY BY HOME TEAM

! The Racine team of school boys
and walloped the Kenosha baseball
team to the tune of 3 to i. The game
! was one of the poorest ever seen in
! Kenosha from Kenosha standpoint
and there lis no Disgusting the fact
! that the game looked little shady.
The Kenosha team did not seem to be
out to win,E and while it is possible
| that the game was played entirely on
its merits, it certainly had shady
look
| The game from the start was dis
gusting exhibition to the Kenosha
fans. The Racine team deserves
credit for playing a great fielding
game, as they backed up pitcher
Peterson inggreat shape, but Peterson
did not pitch star game. His seven
bases on balls should have been suf-
fcient to lose the game for him, but
!, it seems that with men on bases the
Kenosha batters had their eyes on the
grand stand and not on the ball. Ke-
nosha was gcredited With three hits,
and this was just one too many.
From thes.frst it was evident that
Kenosha was making no desperate
effort to win from the Racine play
i ers. There were no men of the
Kenosha team on the Goa ching lines,
and when runner got on base he was
left to his fate. He was usually left

Pulse, the Kenosha pitcher, was
/ throwing straight balls, and although
he struck out ten men, there were
| people in the crowd that believed it
might just as well have been twenty.
| It is claimed that the Kenosha boys
had been instructed not to take long
| lead OIL the visitors, and when the Ra-
cine players made two runs n the
seventh, the Kenosha boys were not
able to overcome the lead Some peo-
the game went to the Racine team
| largely because the Kenosha men
were not able to place money on the
result. AS it stands, the game has
been given something Of a black eye
in Kenosha, and the locals will have
to give the Racine team trouncing
in the mex two games to bring them
selves back to their proper place in
the estimation of the Kenosha fans.
The second game of the series will
be played at Racine week from next
Sunday.

Hunters Threaten to Take Lives Of
Owen Gibbons and Geo. Ma
honey ofPIeasant Prairie
FARMERS PLAN TO ORGANIZE
Will Close the Gates of Their Farms to
All Hunters as Result of Insults
Heaped Upon Them by
Members of Gang

Pleasant Prairie near the city are up
IN arms on account of the insolent
actions of certain Kenosha hunters
and Owen Gibbons, one of the best
known farmers of the county, has
sworn out a "John Doe" warralt
charging one of the hunters with at
tempting to kill him. Similar action
will be taken by George Mahoney,
another we'll known farmer of the
town. These two men were both
threatened with death during the last
few days because they insisted that
their rights be respected and that
men refrain from hunting on their
property. It is claimed that a gang
of seven men went out a few days ago
and being heavily armed they paid
no attention to the wishes of the
farmers. Both the Mahoney and Glib
bons farms are posted against hunters
and when these men discovered the
men shooting on their land they went
out to offer protest. The hunters
declined to listen to them and when
the two men protested and threatened
to put the men off the farm by force
one of the hunters placed shot gun
against Gibbons breast and ordered
him to get out of the way. A similar
dose was melted out to Mahoney. The
two farmers did not care to risk the
uncertain trigger of shot gun and
they got. Later, however, they came
to the city and stated the case to JUS
tice McCarron who issued the war
of the guilty parties is known and
every effort is being made to secure
their arrest. It is alleged that the
men were hunting without licenses
and an effort will be made to have
them held under several charges.
On account Of theinsults that have
been offered to the farmers in this sec.
ton of thescounty an effort is being
made to form an organization which
will practically bar all hunters from
the eastern part of Pleasant Prairie.
Nearly all the farms will be posted at
once and the farmers will also provide
themselves with arms so as to be able
to defend themselves against the in.
suits Of the men who would invade
their property against their will.
Similar complaints have been re-
cieved from other towns in the county
and it is possible that the organiza
ton will be extended to other towns
before the hunting season is over.
The boys going out from Kenosl1a to
hunt on Sundays are especially
bothersome to the farmers. They
pay no attention to the rights of the
farmers. They break down fences,
steal apples and slaughter stock on
the farms, and then when an effort is
made to force them to pay for the
damage done they either offer insults
to the farmers or run away. The
farmers are determined to put an end
to this gang regardless of costs or
conseq

The question of forming cemetery
association to care for the city Gene
terry has been agitated at intervals for
years past, but nothing has been
done, and it is time that the matter
was taken up in earnest. The brief
est inspection will convince any one
who has an interest in the cemetery OF
the need Of such an association. In
spite of the large amounts of money
spent annually by many lot owners,
the large numbers of unkept and
weed grown spaces give the whole
cemetery neglected appearance.
For what the lot owners spend and
the amount the city appropriates an
nually, the whole cemetery could be
properly taken care of and made as
beautiful as anyin the state, provided
the money was expended on.the GENE
terry as whole finder the supervision
of a competent head. But this is rot
all the money aneiassociation would
have to work With Hundteds of lot
owners, who are now residents of
other cities, would gladly become
members Of an association and pay
into its treasury a good deal more
than enough to pay for the care Of
their own lots now neglected and nm
kept. There is a good deal of work
to be done by somebody in the forna-
!. .tion Of such an association, but some
Of our prominent citizens should come
forward and sacrifice enough soSffs their
{ ttrpe f. get an association started:
