Accepted the Decision.

These fags were returned TO the
southern states for another reason
not only did the north realize that the
| southerners were honest men, but they
| found that they were reconstructed
men. The southern leaders Loyalty and
gracefully accepted the decision of the
sword and regarded II as decided for
ever. They were willing to confess
| that under no conditions would they
ever attempt to get their slaves back
again. These great facts were the
mighty means of welding the hearts Of
the American people together even
more strongly than they were united
before.
Now, let us impartially consider the
slave question, which was indirectly
the cause Of that civil war. Way back
in the time of Thomas jefferson the
Sage of Monticello advocated the
emancipation Of the negro slave. But,
though Thomas Jefferson was in many
ways the strongest statesman the south
ever produced. all the planters rose up
in arms. Absurd Absurd" they
cried You free the slaves and the
cotton plantations will be ruined. We
must have the slaves or die" This
was the stand of the south. Most Of
the southerners deprecated the holding
Of slaves. but they did not see how
the plantations could be cultivated
without them. Yet no sooner were
the slaves emanclpated than the plant
ers rubbed their eyes and awoke to
the fact that the plantations We're bet
ter off with hired labor than when
cultivated by slaves. They could make
more money out Of their cotton crops
by hiring field hands than by owning
them. The result was that, whereas
before the war ninety-nine southern
men ont Of a hundred wanted slavery
to exist, today, II put to the southern
vote, ninety-nine men out OF hundred
would refuse to take back their slaves
even II they could. This Is a sociolog-
zeal fact Of the southern labor problem

kenosha Humane Society Holds
Its Annual Meeting at Guild
Hall on Monday Evening
AGENTS MAKES GOOD REPORT
More Than Two Hundred Cases Looked
After Since the Organization of
the Association in Kenosha.-
$500 Contributed


The annual meeting of the Kenosha
Hnnnane Society was held on Monday
evening at the Guild Hall, and the re-
ports of the officials of the society
showed that a great work is being
done in Kenosha city and county. The
work is beginning to appeal to the
people of the county, and during the.
past few months nearly $500 has been.
raised to assure the continuance of
the work in the city.
The large amount of work done by
the society during the past two years
has been under the direction of Agent
]. Fl. Karnes, appointed to this Office
by Governor La Toilette. Since APP
pointed Mr.. Karnes has taken care of
344 cases. The report of Mr.. Karnes
from Jan. 9, 1906, to Jan. 18, 1907,
shows that the whole number of cases
looked after was 95. During the year
ten children left homeless in Kenosha
we're placed in the State homes or
schools and two children we're adopted
by Kenosha people at the request of
the society. There were thirty COM
plants in regard to old people and
children not having proper care, and
some disposition was made of every
case. In nearly every case provision
people were reprimanded for the
abuse of children and twelve for the
abuse of horses. Fourteen horses too
old to work were taken in charge by
the society, and eight horses were
killed at the demand of Agent Harness.
Added to this work, there has been
a vast amount of work done among
the poor of the city. The children
have been clothed and fed and Christ
mas pleasures were provided for them
by the agents of the society.
The work for the year is decidedly
worthy of more than passing notice,
and it is certain that the people who
have given money to aid the cause
have placed it where it will do
great deal Of good.
The officers elected for the coming
year were as follows:
President-Rev. w. ID. Malone.
Secretary-Miss Belle Gaffney.
Treasurer Miss E. e. Robinson.

Injunction Fight Over Camp Lake Dam

The fight over the Camp Lake dam
is to be threshed ont in the Supreme
Court of the state as this morning
notice was filed with the clerk of the
Circuit Court that the defendants in
the action had appealed the case to
the highest court of the state. The
appeal is from the decision of Judge
Belden in his order denying the mo-
ton for the dissolving of the injunc-
ton.
In the mean time the deputy sheriffs
are being kept busy watching the
dam, as it is feared that other steps
will be taken to destroy it. The Oett-
ing Brothers Ice Co., the plaintiffs
IN the action have large force of men
at work cutting ice and it is thought
that the Supreme Court will not be
able to consider the case until after
the present ice harvest is over.

New Flat Building Owned by Miss Hat
tie Balm Badly Damaged Sunday
The fire department was called on
just after z O'Clock Sunday evening
on account of a fire in one Of the new
flats owned by Miss Hattie Balm and
located on South Park avenue. The
fire, which originated from fireplace
on the first floor of the building, kept
going for nearly an hour, and the
building was badly scorched and con-
siderable damage done to the furni-
.ture in the different apartments in
the building. Peter Fisher, Jr., who
occupies the upper fiat in the build
ing, suffered the greatest damage, as
his furnishings we're badly damaged
by the water and smoke. Allen Cole
occupies the lower fiat and his loss is
not nearly SO large.
The loss on the building is esti-
mated at about 5000, while the loss on
furniture and fixtures in the two flats
will be nearly as large. The loss is
entirely covered by insurance

NO KENosHA APPOINTMENTS
Ward Bloss Only Kenosha Man to Take

Ward B1oss Only Kenosha Man to Take
Examination Fails to Win Out
Kenosha county will have no repre-
sentation among the minor officials of
the Wisconsin Legislature of 1907, as
the legislature has completed the
work of filling all the Offices, and
Ward Bloss, the only man lwho took
the Civil Service examination, is not
included in the list. Mrs Bloss held
an Office in the last legislature and
was well qualified for the Office of as
sistant ergeant-at-ar1ns, which he
was seeking this year.
Kenosha people seemedsto take lit
tie interest in the appointments, as
they evidently believed that their pull
at the capital would not be sufficient
ty get them into Office. Several men
from this city applied to Assembly
man Curtiss and Senator Bishop for
aid in seeking appointment, but these
officials have notified all applicants
that the Civil Service Board was in
charge of all appointments.

IN spite of the wide publicity given
every detail and the great interest
taken In the fight to force it through
Congress there is a very general
misunderstanding of the effect of the
national pure food law which went
into effect on January 1st. The
general understanding of the law is
that it absolutely prohibits the sale
of adulterated food stuffs or drugs in
any form. 1t does nothing of the
kind. The law merely provides that
when goods offered for sale are
adulterated the fact must be so stated
on the label that the consumer may
know just what he is buying More,
over through some oversight the law
does not specify the size of the type
or the color of ink to be used in the
markings, this leaving clever rogues
loop hole-which some of them have
taken full advantage of-to practical
ly evade the law by printing the labels
which are supposed to give the amount
of adulterants in can or package in
such small type that the fact that the
goods are adulterated is apt to escape
the notice of a careless purchaser. In
Wisconsin the state pure food laws
will supplement the national laws to
such an extent that a good many
frauds on the consumer will be pre-
vented, but consumers who have been
buying canned goods outside the
state may get some unpleasant sur
prises if they will take the trouble to
xamine the labels on their purchases
through microscope.

Miss Jacoby has for several years
been the most interesting feature of
the musical world of Kenosha. Early
IN life she gave great promise as a
violinist and several years ago the
people of Kenosha gave benefit con-
cert IN order that she might finish
her musical education in Europe.
The romance which eliminated in
the marriage of Miss Jacoby and Mr..
Heaton is said to have started when
Miss Jacoby was playing about the

MYSTERY JJNSOLVED
County Officials Receive No No
tice of Man Killed on Rail-
way Tracks Saturday
MAY HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTAL

No information has been secured in
regard to the unknown man whose
body was found along the railway
tracks at Twin Lakes last Saturday
morning and notwithstanding the
fact that Sheriff Pfennig has been
making an effort to get the details of
the death of the man he has received
no information from the officials at
Randall. The remains of the man are
supposed to have been turned over to
his friends at the ice house, as no re-
port of the case has been made to
County Agent Michael Hensgen. If
an inquest over the remains was held
It was held by justice of the peace
in the town of Salem and no report of
it has been made to Coroner F. E.
Andre or any other official of the
county. The only report of the acct
dent that the officers have been able
to get was the report brought to the
city by the train crew which picked
up the body of the man and took it to
Twin Lakes.
There seems to be no desire on the
part of the officials of the town of
Randall to have the matter investi-
gated, and Deputy Sheriff John Mntz
of Salem is pretty busy with the ice
troubles to give his time to the case.
Sheriff Pfennig when asked in regard
to the matter this morning said: 81
have been trying to find something
about the case but no report of it has
been made to me.
It is possible, that the. man was
killed by a train, and that the Ran
dali officials do not believe that the
matter is of sufficient consequence to
report It to the county officials. Sher-
if Pfennig is ready to act on the
matter if he can get any information.

in PRIMARY
Legislation at Madison to Center
About the Defense of the
Primary Election Law
MANY AMENDMENTS PLANNED

Amendment of the primary election
law promises to be: one of the long
Edrawn out discussions and possibly
Zone Of the closest contests of the ses-
sion of the Legislature. No subject
Ito come before the legislature is at
|itracting more attention among the
members than the primary law. And
no subject of legislation is attracting
more attention in the circles where
the machinery of government is dis
cussed outside of the Legislature than
the proposed changes in this same
plan for direct nominations. In the
university, where Prof. r. B. Scott,
FORMER law partner Of Senator Hop
kins, of Illinois, is giving..'a course of
llectures on party government, the
various amendments proposed to the
law are discussed with as much inter-
rest as they are in the legislature.
And in the Legislature there are all
manner of changes in the law pro-
posed from a closed primary in which
1.-THE voter must declare his party
utilization before voting, to plan for
penalizing the apathetic citizen who
does not attend the primary by MAX
ing him pay poll tax.
Yet in all this discussion one fact
stands out clearly. The principle of
primary election is firmly esta blished
in the minds of the people. No mem
Der of the Legislature has proposed
that the law be repealed. The prin-
ciple of direct nominations is gener-
ally accepted. There may be few
citizens who, not knowing that the
war is over, still hold to the idea that
the primary election law is not here
to stay. But the sentiment among the
whelmingly for the primary election
law system. All manner of amend
ments have been suggested, but no
one in the Legislature has limited at
the repeal of the law. incidentally it
appears to be true that the amend
ments suggested are offered in good
faith, and in the firm belief that they
have some relief to offer.
To begin with, there is consider
able number of the members of the as
sembly who do not want to see the
law amended in any way. They be-
lieve that it worked the will of the
people with but few exceptions at the
last election, and they feel that to
make any change in it would be to
run the risk of getting things into
such shape that it would not work
the will Of the people. Governor
Davidson is one of those who believes
that it ought not be amended to any
great extent. He conveyed his views
on this subject in his message to the
legislature.
From certain quarters there is de-
mand for closed primary. Some of
the Milwaukee members, recalling
the recent experiences Of the Repub-
1ican party in the nomination of a
district attorney, are arguing for an
amendment that will keep Democrats
out of a Republican family row, and
that will require every voter to de-
clare his party afi1iation when he
calls for the ballot at the primary
booth.
