LOOK OVER RAILWAY PROPERTY
State Tax Commission in Kenosha to
Look Over Street Railway Property

State Tax Commission in Kenosha to
Look Over Street Railway Property
Agents Of the Wisconsin State Tax
Commission are in the city making a
complete examination of all of the
property owned by the Kenosha
Electric Railway company in order
that the commission may determine
the amount of tax to be paid by
the company. For the past two or
three years the agents of the
commission have come to the city to
look over this property, but the inves-
tigation this year is more rigid than
ever before. The agents even took
the list and size of every car owned
by the company, as well as the exact
length of every track and the pro-
posed extensions of the lines within
the city limits.
The reason for all of this investi-
cation is not apparent as the state
levies the tax against street railway
companies in the way of license, the
value Of the property not being con-
sidered, the amount being figured on
the gross receipts of the company.
The new trackage Of the company
which is now being laid will not be in
operation in time to have the receipts
for it included IN the amount charged
by the state for license next year.

LANDS NEXT TOURNEY
KenOsha Country Club Selected
as Host for State Golf Asso.
citation Meet in 1903
JACOBS TAKES STATE HONOR

The year of 1908 promises to be an
other big year in the history of the
Kenosha Country Club, as at the final
meeting of the directors of 'the Wis
cOnsin Golf Association held ngMadi-
son on Saturday evening the invita-
ton of the Kenosha Club for the state
tournament next year swas accepted
and the directors of the local club
have already started preparations to
make the 1908 tourney the greatest
golf event ever held in Wisconsin.
Kenosha had great deal of COMPETE
ton for the honor of entertaining the
state golfers, as several of stheiclubs
IN the state weref anxious to secure
the meeting, but the fact that Keno
sha was the only club in the state
having eighteen hole links settled the
question.
The final round in the StateNCham-
plonship race on Saturday resulted in
a victory for Frank w. Jacobs, Of the
Madison Club, who defeated sAlbert
Schaller, of GAINESVILLE, by score of
two up. The Consolation cup was
won by John Hixon, ofs La Crosse,
who defeated George Russell, Of Mil
waukee, in the finals by scoreof one
up. The scores in the championship
event were decidedly poor and neither
Schaller or Jacobs showed anything
like the championship form :of other
years in the Wisconsin Association.
The entertainment provided by the
Madison Club is highly praisedsby the
golfers from all parts of .the state,
and it is certain that should another
tournament be held at Madison the
entry list will be even larger than it
was this year.
At the final meeting of the directors
of the Association on Saturday even
ing the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President-Joh Hixon, of La Crosse
Secretary and Treasurer-W. L.
Yu1e, of Kenosha.
The meet IN 1908 will be held during
the latter part of July.

NO SHORT SLEEVES
Archbishop Messmer is Strongly
Opposed to Short Sleeves
in Catholic Churches
May PUT THE FAN UNDER BAN

If Catholic girls and women in Ke-
nosha and other cities of the Milwau-
kee archdiocese regard thes wishes of
Archbishop Sebastian g. Messmer,
they will cease wearing short sleeves
and stop using fans when in church.
The archbishop said recently in an
interview that he did not approve of
either of these acustoms SO common in
the churches of the state. He went
even further, and he said he thought
the Very Rev. Anton Kohls, pastor of
st. Mary's Roman Catholic schurch in
Kansas City, Mo-, had acted wisely in
declining to administer the Offices of
confirmation and holy communion to
women wearing short sleeves.
ST think he was right in refusing to
administer the sacraments to women
wearing short sleeves" said Arch.
bishop Messmer. "While 1 do not
know to what extent the women of
Milwaukee wear short sleeves in
church, l think it is quite improper. F"
The archbishop said lastl summer
lA11I AS PRAOSSo VI liz WCdI1uS u
peek-a-boo waists He said he did not
regard the practice as modest or con-
ducive to good health.
ST do not think the wearing of short
sleeves is ia keeping with the charac-
ter of the church-of a religious edi-
fce," he said. "The churchsis differ
ent from the home sand from other
places. This difference .sshould be
recognized by Ethe women. They
should not dresss for thel church as
they do for their homes, and I do not
think the wearing of short sleeves is
proper.
"a woman's modesty and her finer
feeling should prevent her entering
as sacred place as the church with
her arms bare. Short sleeves are all
right in their place, but theiraplace is
in the home and not IN the church.
"There is another distressing and
practice in the church,
IN the summer time, and
that is the use of fans. dislike to
preach in a church where all the wo-
men are waving their fans back and
forth constantly. Fans have their
places as much as short sleeves have.
I do not think the women would suffer
if they stopped using their fans
while they are in church"
