The toad sheds its skin at certain
periods, the old one coming off and
leaving new one, which has been
formed underneath, in its stead. It
does not give its cast off coat away to
any poorer toad, and there are no toads
dealing in second hand raiment. Nei
Their does 1t leave its cast off jacket on
the ground after the fashion of the
shftlcss snake. 1t swallows its over
coat at one moutlful, converting its
stomach into portmantcau.

ANOTHER MANS VIEW


ELLENSBURG, Feb 26.-Editor The
Dawn: | was pleased to read your anti
vaccination editorial in a recent issue,
and | would like to add small contrl-
bation on the subject; for there are sill
many people who have over much re-
spect for the opinions of the medical
men who disagree among themselves.
Euglands great statesmen-Glad-
st0ne-became Indifferent to the pre-
tensions of vaccinism; not because he
had examined the statistics or read
characterization literature, but because
be had been repeatedly mislead by the
Jennerians. Within his recollec ton,
vaccination had dwindied into, at most,
decennial re-vaccination. How can
the ordinary citizen witness without
misgivings, these step-by-step retreats
from the old thorough going position
of-once vacinated immune for life!
Citizens may be us incapable of deal
inc with statistics as the ordinary doc
tor; and lin England at least) they are
heartily tired of being pelted with fig
ures which either DR.. Bond or Dr..
Hadwin, DR.. Copeman or Dr. Collins,
will triumphantly refute, for their re-
spective sides, next day.

Our Dead eeElder Statesman. },

The passing of United States Sena-
tor Edmund Winston Pettus is as
plainly a demarcation of the past from
the present as though a mighty bell in
the capitoPs dome had tolled off a pc
Rod Of the country's history and it's
echoes had penetrated the corners of
the republic.
twill be many a day before the in
fuence of this old senator will die. He
was unconsciously but powerfully a
teacher of the simple life. On the rare
occasions when his voice was heard in
the senate it sounded like the voice of
one. Of the. fathers returned from the
past with warnings amounting to
prophecy. So, simple, so direct, so hon
est, was the message that the senate
halted instinctively in the midst of
great affairs to listen and to heed
The influence thus exerted upon the
minds Of the nations leading men was
peculiar, salutary and lasting. Wheth-
er they themselves were we'll down the
slope of years or on the summit Of life,
they listened with eagerness to the
counsel Of the elder statesman who
had achieved the greatness of sim
.plicity.
Senator Pettus did not win great
fame, nor did he seek it. His ambition
was not feverish, and he was too much
of philosopher to burn up his ener-
giles in the race for trivial honors. The
greatest and most instructive quality
Of his character was simplicity. From
first to last Senator Pettus had the
simplicity of greatness. 1t Illuminated
his honor, his directness, his robust
scorn of sham, his humor, his frugality,
his courage and his philosophy. He
seemed to have borne in mind always
the saying Of the first Of the seven
wise men, Moderation Is best" So
he lived to green old age, accom-
plished much and died as the good man
dies.

TEMPEST AND SUNSHINE

One of the most successful southern
plays, Tempest and Sunshine" will
be seen fat the Rhode opera house
next Sunday night. Tempest and
Sunshine" is tp1ayed by one of the
highest salaried companies playing
on local stages, consequently the pro-
duction will be something worth see
ing. Tempest" and Sunshine" are
two very beautiful Southern girls.
The formerlhaving an uncomfortable
temper and always taking pleasure in
makingltroublelfor others and the lat
ter, just the opposite of her sister,
gentle andipatient and trying to undo
the trouble her sister has caused. A
beautiful story is woven into the play
making it of such an intensely inter-
esting nature that one forgets they
are only in theatre and not down in
the South. The costumes are all of
the old fashioned style, quaint and
pretty, sthe gowns being of airy Grim
olin stuffs made in the fashions of
Dolly Madison times, which is the
period Of the play. Seats now on sale
at the ticket store.

Moving Labor t. It's Job.

Men wanted is the cry Of this con-
tinent from Canada to Panama. Farm
ers want help in the fields, and build
ers want hands to WELD the tools of
construction. The cry is not new, but
heretofore it has been local in range.
Now the experts of the government
who have been watching the variations
of demand and supply declare that the
labor market is unequal to the de-
mands of the hour.
In the face of all of this we hear
stories of idle men in different parts Of
the country Sometimes the complaint
Of men who are idle is that they can
not get work. Sifted down, this often
amounts to a scarcity of work which
the toilers deem worth while. The
days wages offered may look attrac-
tive, but taking the year through the
man finds that the remuneration is too
small. Permanent jobs on public
works pay less per diem than transient
jobs on private enterprises. And yet
the supply on public jobs generally eX-
ceeds the demand.
One reason why laboring men prefer
the government job at low wages to
better wages on private work is that it
enables them to live in permanent
home. Money goes farther in that
way. Grownup children get work, and
sometimes the housewife is an Garner.
Living with his family the Workingman
gets more out of life, and dollar goes
farther The big wages are generally
away from home. 1t costs money to
pull up and travel hundreds of miles.
And the job may last but a season or
at best year or two. Manufacturers
pitch their plants in region where
population is dense and laborers plen-
ty. They have mastered the trick Of
getting the job and labor together. But
1t must remain problem Of all tran
silent enterprises or those suddenly
swamped with work until other attrac-
tons are added to the bid Of temporary
high wages.

Ell. T.. Goldberg Buys Land From the

H. L. Goldberg, of Racine, closed a
deal on Tuesdaylfor the purchase of
thirty-seven acresaof land, formerly
owned by the Kenosha Realty COM
pany and located just two blocks west
of the station of the Chicago and Mil

The land is to be 'subdivided into 200
lots and placed on the market at once.
The consideration for the deal is pri-
vate. It is expected that the prop
erty will be placed on the market
within the next two or three weeks,
but before sthe lots are Offered for
sale the new owner will lay out
streets and alleys and improve them.
Every one Of the streets is to be
parked and graveled and sidewalks of
gravel will be laid. The lots will be
sold at low price and offered on the
easy payment plan.

building, and more especially of what

THAT notice from the Secretary of
State is warning to the incorporated
companies doing business in this city
that the state intends 20 collect the
forfeiture for any failures to comply
with the law requiring them to file a
report of their business annually. A
forfeiture of ten dollars from every
company in this state that failed to
comply with the law last year would
have raised considerable revenue,

of State does not intend to let the
chance to collect go by again.

kenosha and Racine Italians
Seeking Couple Who Decamped
From Racine on Sunday
MURDERERS WIFE is UNTRUE

4 Italians from Racine and Kenosha
are making an. effort to find some
trace of Mrs. Madeline Sarmac and
John Tobicet, both of Racine, who
are alleged to be in hiding in Keno
sha, and who it is claimed are wanted
in Racine to answer a charge of
bigamy. No warrants have been
issued for the arrest of the people so
far as can be learned from the Racine
police, and it seems that the greater
part of the search is being carried
forward by friends of the husband of
Mrs. Sarmac, who is alleged to be in
jail in an eastern city charged with
murder. The man who is with Mrs.
Sarmac is alleged to have wife liv-
ing either in Italy or Milwaukee.
Mrs. Sarmac had been with her
husband in the East until two weeks
ago, when she came with her little
boy to Racine. She seemed to be
deeply in love with her husband and
was seeking funds to aid in his de-
Tense. It was about this time that
Tobicet showed up and with his COM
ing the womansseems to have lost
interest inS her imprisoned husband
and taken a new and greaterinteresti in
Tobicet.
The coupled disappeared from Ra-
cine on Saturday, and on Sunday it is
alleged that; the man who had fled
with Mrs. lsSarmac returned to that
city ands secured the little boy and
brought him to Kenosha. About this
time an uncle of the boy by the name
Of Sam Onione. who resides at the
Rapids, near Racine, entered the
trouble eand he is seeking to secure
the possession of the boy, claiming
that his mother and Tobicet will not
give him the proper care.
The Italians in thescolony IN Keno
sha profess to be ignorant of the
whereabouts of Tobicet and Mrs.
Sarmac, but it is admitted that she is
well known to many of them and that
she formerly lived with her husband
in kenosha. The Italians here insist
that Tobicet lives Tin milwaukee and
they seem to be of the opinion that
the couple:are in hiding there.
The local police have not taken up
the search for the couple, claiming
that they have received no orders
from the Racine officials to look for
them.

Two Cent Fares Went Into Use
on the North. Western Road
Wednesday Evening 4ge
LITTLE EFFECT ON KENosHA
Local Communication Rates Will Remain
Unchanged and it is Not Thought
That New Traffic Will Make
Any Change in Business

Local agents of the North Western
Railway company have received the
new traffic sheets which went into
effect Wednesday, and from now on
railroad fares to all places ia Wis
consln are figured at the rate of two
cents mile. Along with the new
traffic sheets the railway companies
rate tickets have been abolished with
the exception of few of the commu-
tation rates, including the rate be-
tween Kenosha and Chicago, which
has proved very remunerative to the
company. In the future the rate be-
tween Kenosha and Chicago will be a
dollar and two cents. The new order
makes it necessary for the company
to cancel all excursion rates, and, in
the future no rates will be granted to
clergymen, sisters of charity or other
people connected with religious work
and these people will be asked to pay
the full two cent fare as placed by the
new Wisconsin law.
1t is not thought that the workings
of the law will make any great differ
ence with the traffic to and from Ke-
nosha. For years people travelling
between Kenosha and Chicago have
enjoyed cent and half rate under
the communication ticket, and this rate
is to be continued. The company
will, of course, decline to make low
rates for the Old Settlers picnic or
similar occasions, but the new rate
will be almost if not quite as low as
the excursion rate offered In other
years. It is thoughtsthat the reduce
ton in the rates may have consider
able effect on the traffic between the
smaller stations, and that the electric
railways will lose considerable by the
change in rates.
Many states surrounding Wisconsin
have adopted the two cent rate bills,
but it will be some time before inter
state traffic is arranged on this basis,
and it will be hard matter to arrange
the payment Of fares so as to get the
benefit of the low ratesEwhen going
from one state 20 anOtner.
It is understood that the Milwaukee
and Racine Communication tickets
which have been largely used by Ke-
nosha people in the past, will remain
in force for the present at least, but
the Kenosha man buying this ticket
saves only few cents, and It is
thought that most of them would pre-
fer to pay the regular fare of IS cents
and not have the trouble of buying a
ticket to Racine in order to save the
few cents on the Milwaukee ticket.
It is expected that the sale of COM
mutation tickets in the future wil1not
be as large as in the past, as the re-
duction of the rate will force many of
the dealers in these tickets out of bus
mess. In past years people have sent
to Kenosha to secure the tickets, but
now that the rate is to be but cents
mile the cost of the Communication
ticket and the postage on it will be
almost as much as the straight fare to
Chicago and return.
