THOSE merchants who were recent
~ arrested for keeping open on Sun
day are perfectly right in their con-
tention that they are just as much
entitled to the privilege of keeping
open on that day as any other man in
any other line of business. It IS not
exactly fair to single them out for
prosecution when others are allowed
to carry on business Sundays un-
molested and if crusade for Sunday
closing is to be started it should be
made to include everybody who
violates the law by keeping open on
that day. "What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander" and as
the law which provides for closing
one day week was meant to apply to
all alike if it is to be enforced at all it
should be enforced against all alike.
No one class of men is entitled to any
special privileges under it.

CUTTING ARRAYS are becoming COM
mon in Kenosha, and with all the af-
fairs of that kind that have taken
place IN the city in the past year the
county is fortunate that there were
not one or two murder trials on the
calendar at the last term of court.
Heretofore, in most instances the
guilty parties in these assault cases
have been let off with heavy fines, but
asthere was another stabbing scrape
Saturday night, it does not appear
that the clemency of the courts is
having the desired effect. Too many
of our foreign born citizens are alto
gether too ready to resort to the knife
on the slightest provocation. or with
out any provocation at all, as far. as
any one can see, and it begins to look
as 'if the practice would have to be
discouraged by a few penitentiary
sentences. - II

4 THERE can be no valid objection by
Eutomobilists to the enforcement OF
reasonable speed regulations and the
driver who enters the loudest protest
is apt to be the very man most in
need of little attention from the
officers. Furthermore the drivers
whose recklessness is responsible for
the feeling against the machines are
rapidly becoming even more unpopu-
lar with their fellow drivers who
know what risks they take, than with
the general public and this growing
sentiment among the automobile men
is going to do more to hold the speed
mahiacs in check than all the laws
on the books.
