Democracy.

Mr.. Bryce, the English ambassador,
was probably not Juggling with words
when he said recently that for an en-
lightened people the best form of gov
eminent Is a democracy. This distin-
guished Briton has lived his whole life
under what may ftly be called one Of
the foremost Of democracies, although
the form of the British government is
monarchical
Great Britain is close approach to
real democracy. It's legislature,
elected by the people, may, and often
does, exercise control, whereas with
us the senate and the executive may,
and often do, override the policy Of the
peoples representatives. True, the
British monarch has the veto power,
but it's use would be suicidal. Ulti-
mately the voice of the people is SUI
preme here, but its expression is often
delayed. In England the people may
speak within few weeks after crisis
in parliament.

Kenosha has larger percentage of

THERE may be some deep, dark
purpose behind the concealment of
that street railway bond but to the
ordinary observer the whole business
looks like a piece of undignifed
foolishness. If a bond has been filed
what is the objection to letting any
citizen examine it and if there is no
bond why not say so at once? What
have the city officials to gain by con-
cealing anything? The fling of a
bond is a plain business proposition
aud all of the business of the city
should be conducted openly and
above board.

BURGLARS ARE BUSY
Police Receive Reports Of Two
BurgIaries In the City on Mon
day Morning and Night
THIEVES GET LITTLE BOOTY

The old gang of burglars which it
was thought had been driven out of
Kenosha have begun operations again
and reports of two burg1aries were
brought to the police office within the
past few days. Some time Mon
day night unknown parties enter
ed the home of Richard Thierfelder on
Grover street and managed to get
away with shot gun and a sword
which Mr.. Thierfelder had brought
with him from Germany. The shot
gun was valuable but the sword was
only priced as an heirloom. The men
made their way into the house by
breaking open cellar window and
when the police went to investigate
the case they found lighted lantern
IN the basement and it was evident
that this had been used by the burg
lars in making their way about the
house. There was no one in the
house when the burglary took place
but it is thought that the men were
frightened out before they completed
their work and that they gra bbed the
shot gun and sword and left. There
is no clue to the guilty parties but the
police are now anxiously looking for
the man who has an old German
Cavalry sword as a decoration for his.
home.
Report was made to the police that
the barber shop of j. ] Quiment on
Park street just back of the Merchants
and Savings Bank was robbed on
Monday morning and the burglar got
away with money to the amount of a
couple of dollars and several tools. It
is thought that the robbery was COM
mitted by former emp1oye and the
police are now anxiously searching
for this fellow. However, it is
thought that he has fled from the city.
It is not known how the entrance to.
the barber shop was made but it is
thought possible that the men had
key to the front door.

SOME of the Kenosha county milk
dealers who ship to Chicago would be
surprised if they knew what close
watch the Chicago health department
keeps at all times on the sources of
the milk supply of that city. The re-
suits of the work of these health de-
partment inspectors are never made
public unless something is found
wrong, but they are at work some
where in the county all the time, and
it is a high recommendation for the
Kenosha county product that so few
complaints are filed by them.

Standing on Ones Rights.

The man who kicks against a police
regulation, even when it is absurd, is
in danger of setting a bad example,
but now and then the law gets into a
rut and needs good shock. Recently
an old fashioned American not too busy
to insist on his personal rights refused
to be put in the New York quarantine
on the arrival in port Of the Cuban
steamer which brought him from Ha-
vana. First class passengers on the
same vessel were allowed to go at once
to their homes. The man who kicked
came from HAVANA in the second cabin
and under the law must remain in
quarantine a certain time as a precau,
ton against yellow fever.
Science has learned a lot about vel
low fever in recent years. There are
surer methods of foiling it than quar-
antining London receives voyagers
of all classes direct from insanitary
ports the world over and never bothers
about putting them in quarantine
Still London has low death rate com.
pared with other large cities. The law
is a yoke, and it is wise to submit, but
it's absurdities should be Topped off the
moment they become apparent.
