WEBER WAS WRONG
Majority Of Permits For Child
Workers in kenosha are for
American Children
JUDGE MAKES HIS REPORT

Judge Russell H. Slosson of the
County Court in this county has issued
report which tends to show that
krank Weber, the state organizer Of
the Wisconsin Federation of Labor,
was not very well posted in his state.
ments made to the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture short time ago in regard to the
issuance of permits for the children
of foreigners. AT this time Kenosha
county was not especially referred to
but Kenosha county is the largest en-
ployer of child labor in the state out
side Of Milwaukee county and the
records of this county furnish very
interesting material in making up
report on child Labor in the state
The report of Judge Slosson shows
that the great mass of permits issued
to children between the age of IA and
10 years in this county are not issued
to the children of foreigners or chill
dren who are foreign born but to
Americans.
The report shows that between Jan.
/, 1907 and May %, 1907 there were
100 permits issued to children of this
age to work in the Kenosha factories.
Of this number 81 were issued to
Americans. Those "a were all Amer
lean born and nearly all Of them were
the children of Americans. Other
nationa1ities were represented as fol-
lows: Italians 5, Russians 4, Ger
mans s, Polish 2, Hungarians l, Aus
trians2. It is claimed by the court
that this ratio of American born chill
dren is kept up IN the records not only
for this year, but also for proceeding
years. Nearly every one of the Amer
lean children granted permits could
read and write and scarcely any of
them we're illiterate.
It is an admitted fact that large
number of the foreign born children
seeking permits are not educated to
the point to be able to read and write
as they come to Kenosha before they
have a chance to attend the schools of
even their native land, and many of
them come to the city without parents
or guardians and it is necessary to
allow them to go work or throw them
out into the street.
Judge Slosson has had record for
the careful way in which he has
handled these cases and he has given
1t IS his opinion that it would be
wrong to refuse these children per-
mits. Under the proposed. law requir-
ing that the applicant for permit be
able to write simple sentence few of
these foreign born children could Sc
cure permits, but the law would have
little or no effect on the American
born children. It is claimed that the
conditions in this county are repre-
sentative Of the conditions in all parts
Of the state.

Mr.. FROST has asked for an extern
sion of time on some of his fran
chises which are used simply to give
his company absolute command of
the local street railway situation but
there is no reason why the Council
should give it to him. The attitude
of the street railway company in this
matter is too strongly suggestive of
the dog in the manager to entitle it to
mach consideration from the alder
men, for the company does not want
to use these streets and it does not
want any other company to use them
either. 1t has held possession of
them for nearly five years and no
move has been made to build on the
streets covered by the franchise the
company wants extended in all that
time and the best thing the city can
do is 10 take control OF its own streets
just as soon as the franchise covering
them expires,

MEMORIAL DAY ANDTHE SCHOOLS

The first formal proclamation recon-
mending the decoration Of the graves
of Union soldiers was written at
Washington on the 5th of May, 1868,
by Gen. John A. Logan, then COM
mander-in-chief of the G. A. r. In
this address he said:
''Let no vandalism Of avarice or
neglect, no ravages Of time, testify to
the present or the coming generations
that we have forgotten as people
the cost of free and undivided re-
public. IF other eyes grow dull, and
other hands slack, and other hearts
cold IN the solemn trust, ours shall
keep it well as long as the light and
warmth of life remain to us.
Now that the survivors of the war
for the Union are becoming few and
CID, the question will soonaarise, Who
shall take up the duty of keeping up
the ceremonials appropriate to Mem
orial Day which they so faithfully OBJ
served?
There is only one direction in which
the hope of acknowledgements Day
TO its high use as a day of patriotic
ceremonies can be discerned, and that
is the direction of the schools. 1t is a
beautiful custom which enlists the
youth of the land in the serious OBJ
seryance of Memorial Day.-Evening

SEEK MISSING WOMAN
Mrs. Julia Eisac, OF Hebron. Ill, Meets
Detective and Side Steps Him

Mrs. Julia Eisac, of Hebron. Ill, Meets
Detective and Side Steps Him
A man declaring he was a private
detective from Hebron, Ill, got a
hard turn down in Kenosha last night
and after he had been beaten by the
wit of woman he left for Hebron
with detection which will probably
result in his surrendering his detec-
tive star and going back to work on
the farm. The alleged detective had
come to Kenosha for the purpose Of
capturing a woman said to be Mrs.
Julia Eisac who had left Hebron with
out telling her friends where she was
going
The detective found the woman in
Kenosha and with the aid of some of
her friends Mrs. Eisac entertained
the officer (?) IN most cordial man
ner. While the entertainment was
at its height the woman excused her
self and stated that she was going to
the theatre to attend a performance.
The detective did not oppose such a
move and waited at the door of the
play house for her to appear again.
Strange to say the woman did not ap-
pear and the detective is still looking.
He went to the police officer for aid
later and when he told his experiences
he was given such a hearty laugh
that he started back for Hebron. 1t
is supposed that Mrs. Eisac is still in
Kenosha.

TIE petition of the Chicago, Keno
sha, Milwaukee and Lake Geneva
Railway Company to condemn pri-
vate right Of way straight through
the heart of the city has caused some
thing of a sensation and it begins to
look as if the hackers of the road
mean business and intend to get
through Kenosha no matter what it
costs them. Certainly if the pro-
moters of the road are prepared to pay
what the condemnation proceedings
just started promise to cost them
before they can get right over pri-
vate property, there must be plenty
of money backing the project.

NOTHING would add more to the
general comfort of the trading public
than the enforcement of the ordinance
which requires that the bottoms of

THERE are SO many saloon licenses

THERE are so many saloon licenses
now in force that the passage of the
ordinance limiting the number of
licenses on a basis of population will
not have much effect for years to
come, but if the local option bill
goes through the Legislature it will be
possible for the people directly inter
ested to absolutely prohibit the in
vasion of residence districts by the
saloons. The matter will rest with
the people then and there will be no
chance for any fine work in the
Conpcil.

TO INVADE KENosHA
Mormon Elders To Hold Street Meet

Kenosha is about to have peaceful
invasion on the part of the Mormon
Church and beginning with Saturday
evening the representatives. of the
Church of Latter Day Saints will hold
street meetings at the corner of Main
and Wisconsin streets. Elders of the
church have been in Kenosha for
weeks paving the way for this series
of meetings and it is expected that
the church will make many converts
during the meetings. President John
Russon and Elder E. O. Olesen will
have charge Of the work and they will
be assisted by twelve of the elders of
the church. It has been many years
since Kenosha has had Mormon
revival and at the time Of the last re-
vival quite number Of people Of the
city united with the Mormon church
and went west to cast their lot with
the mormons in Utah.

In the three months ended March 81
of this year over 5000 breakages Of
rails on the principal steam lines of
New York state alone have been re-
ported. This is at least a number
three times greater than ever known
before. It is a variation of previous
experiences altogether out Of proper
ton to the variations of temperature.
The temperature Of the winter of 1907
was not, SO much lower than previous
winters as to account for the extraor-
binary increase. 1t is to be greatly
feared that the assertion of the rail
road managers is the true explanation
to wit, that the quality of the steel
has been lowered

A "Bicycle Railroad. ,,

lit is plainly not ambition to exploit
a freak that leads the English inventor,
Brennan, to demonstrate his single rail
method Of getting a train over the
ground. Experimenters have been at
work for a generation on the problem
Of making one rail surface where two
are now used. The primary object is
economy of power. There Is more re-
sistance from two rails than from one,
just as water offers more resistance to
vessels with clumsy, broad bows than
it does to vessels having sharp bows.
With the two rail system it is estimat-
ed that only II per cent of the power
generated is actually applied to pro-
polling train. The rest is consumed
in taking up the friction caused by
the rails and the oscillation Of the bur-
den
Single rail trains have been run and
have met with the approval of trans
portation experts. Brennan's device,
recently exhibited for the first time n
London, differs from all others in the
method of balancing the train. He APP
plies the principle of the revolving top
to smaintain balance This principle
has been demonstrated mechanically in
various ways during the last century
for the purpose of illustrating the mo-
ton of the earth on its axis. When
top is spinning fast it stands erect or
nearly so, but Wabbles when it slows
down. Brennan's plan to keep balance
is two fyWheels rotating in vacuum
in opposite directions. Friction is re
duced to minimum, and the power re-
quired to keep the fyWheels in motion
is very small.
During the trial before the scientists
of the Royal society in London the in
vestigators tried in vain to wreck the
model by piling loads on one side of
the cars. Brennan claims that one day
he will send his train across a wide
river on a single wire hawser for a
bridge There are many things which
a layman can imagine might happen
to one rail machine, but they may be
dissipated by actual experience. Skep-
teal people told Stephenson, the in
ventor Of the steam locomotive for a
track of two rails, that even collision
with a wandering COW would derail it
He said the engine could stand it, but
the "coo'' would be the worse for the
encounter Perhaps the scary feeling
we have about trusting our lives and
limbs in bicycle cars running 200 miles
an hour and poised by balancing gear
will yield before facts. MostofOur great
inventions, the telegraph of Morse,
the ocean cable of Field, the telephone
of Bell, were scoffed at as witchcraft
or something like that We travel fast
enough for safety on two rails, but if
the single rail road is going to be cheap
er and also reasonably safe we may
yet inscribe the name of Brennan on
the roll with Newton and Watts and
Stephenson as a benefactor Of man
kind.

Every Man His Own Dictor

The average man cannot afford to employ a physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to neglect them. as so slight an injury as the scratch of pin has been known to cause the loss of a limb. Hence every man must from neces- sity be his own doctor for this class of ailment. Success often depends upon prompt treatment. which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand. Chamberlain's remedies have been in the market for many years and enjoy a good reputation.

 Most of the state and territorial militia officers have anticipated thisl requirement and already have their companies on a military footing. There will be few, if any, states that will not participate in the di- vision of the funds, according to officials of the war department.

kinsman Fire.

Early Saturday morning fire broke out in the rear of the old Taggart Mercantile building, on front street and in shrot time communicated with the surrounding buildings and in an incredibly short time the building and contents was total loss. The other buildings (Russell's saloon, Penberthy saloon Bennett harness shop and chinese lodging house) burned more slowly and when water was gotten onto the buildings the fire was confined to them. Many of the movable things were taken from the near by build ings and the loss from breakage and handling amounts to considerable. The telephone office as badly burned but by an effort the fire was stopped at this point. The loss so far as can be learned is as follows: Lena Fast. $2500; no insurance; w. J. Prout. on building. about 5000; telephone office. wires and cable. S250; J. F. Luthy. three room of his block, $3,000; J. R. Russells $2, 800; Henry Lovin, liouor stocks, SIP. .000, insurance 5000; J. M. Pen berthy. bar and fixturs, Sl .000; F. c. Bennett, stock and fixtures. $500 money 600; Chinese, stock and fix lures. $500. money $200; w. H. Taggart, loss about $400; H. H. Watkins, loss on stock by breakage, etc.. $500; Eshom X Lauten, meat market. $l 300.
 Had it not been for a faithful dog two men living in the rear of the Taggart building would have been burned to death. The dog caught his master by the wrist and tried to pull him from his bed. The action of the dog aroused the man and he barely escaped with scant ward- robe. F. C. Bennett and wife were awakened, but were unadle to save more than few clothes and their big sewing machine.
 Everybody worked violently to save property and to their efforts is due the safety of the west end of the Luthy block and the Commercial Hotel and small buildings attached to it on the west - Miner.

Statisticst recently complied by the department of agriculture show that there are nearly 2,500. 900 miles of public roads Tn this country, only a small percentage of which are i'm. proved. Necessarily it will be many years before large percent age of this great mileage will be improved, and in the meantime it is of the utmost importance that we make the best possible use of facilities at hand. An expenditure of nearly $80, 100000 per annum is being applied to the maintenance of these roads, and it is safe to say that the loss from improper methods is we'll up in the millions. There are certain principles which under lie the art of road building and maintenance. and certain methods known to many engineers and road builders which are easily under stood and as easily put into practice. Unfortunately. these simple princi- pies and methods are not universally known and the department is going to enter a campaign for the general consideration of the subject of road building.
