THERE has never been more radi'
cal change in public sentiment in the
history of this country than the
growth of the temperance movement
in the last five or six years. With
many of the southern states prac-
tically prohibition and seventeen
counties in Illinois going dry there is
reason to believe that the movement
may eventually gather force enough
to affect even Wisconsin. 1t may be
long time coming but it will surely
come.

of $4,000 90. Judge Ludwig who heard
the evidence in the case was not in

AMERICAN HUMANE SOCIETY

From the preliminary announce
ments it would appear that the an
nual meeting of the, American HUI
name Association, to be held in Bos-
ton next week, is likely to prove the
most important and interesting in its
history. Delegates will be present
from every section of the country.
and the speakers and readers of pa
pers will be from the ranks of those
foremost in humane work.
Quite properly the subject of the
care and oetterment of children will
receive distinguished attention, and
such topics as the necessity of socie-
ties for prevention of cruelty to chill
dren, the problem of neglected chill
dren, state supervision of "placed
out" children, and the reports of good
accomplished by concerted effort IN
all parts of the union will be read and
discussed It is proposed also to re-
ceive reports and communications
from Porto Rico, the Philippines, and
Alaska, showing the progress of anti
cruelty work in the dependen cies of
the United States and appealing for
such recognition as may afford en-
enlargement for further endeavor
along humane lines.
The horse will come in for his share
of consideration, and a multitude OF
topics relating to the treatment and
care of the horse and other animals
will be furnished for discussion. Not
the least of these subjects will be the
proper way of securing forcible and
effective legislation in the matter Of
humane laws, and this department of
the general meeting will be in the
hands Of men and lawyers accus-
toned to deal with governing and
lawmaking bodies. Altogether there
is everything to commend in an asso-
citation of this nature, and there is
every reason to believe that, Endorsed
by public opinion and sure of the
sympathy of the country, the society
will demonstrate how great and use
full has been its scope IN the past ard
how fruitful will be it's efforts to
come.-Chicago Tribune.

THERE is just one thing that the
law abiding people of Kenosha-and
after all they are in the vast ajority-
expect the authorities of the city and
county to do in the present crisis and
that is to preserve order at all costs.
The authorities have difficult task
before them but they will be held to
the strictest account by every man
who has any interest in Kenosha and
it's future for the manner in which
they perform their sworn duty under
the law. Kenosha can afford almost
anything rather than to have the i'm
preston go abroad that this is not a
law abiding community.

The following extract from an ar
ticle on organized labor by Cardinal
Gibbons, which appeared in Put
nam's Monthly, in which he urges
unions to steer clear of "designing
demagogues," politics and violations
of law, may be read with interest and
profit here in Kenosha at the present
time. The Cardinal says:
"God forbid that the prerogatives
which I am maintaining for the work
ing classes should be construed as
implying the slightest invasion of the
rights and autonomy of employers.
There should mot, and need not, be
any conflict between capital and la
Dor, since both are necessary for the
public good, add the one depends on
the cooperation of the other.
eff labor organizations have rights
to be vindicated and grievances to be
redressed, it is manifest that they
have also sacred obligations to be full
filled and dangers to guard against.
AS these societies are composed of
members formidable in numbers, var
led in Character, temperament. and
nationality, they are, in the nature of
things, more unwie1dy, more diff cult
to manage, more liable to disintegra-
tion than corporations of capitalists,
and they have. need of leaders pos
sessed of great firmness, tact, and SUI
perior executive ability, who will hon
estly aim at consulting the welfare OF
the society they represent, without
infringing on the rights of their en-
p1oyers.
"They should exercise uncea sing
vigilance in securing their body from
who would make it subservient tc
their own selfish ends, or convert il
into a political engine.
Experience has show that strikes
are drastic and at best question
able remedy for the redress of the la
borers' grievances. The loss inflicted
by strikes on the employers is no
much more than half as great as thai
which is sustained by the employed
who can much less afford to bear il.
sIt would be vast stride IN the in
terests of peace and of the laboring
classes if the policy of arbitration
which is now gaining favor for the
settlement of International quarrels
we're also availed of for the adjust
ment of disputes between capital and
labor"

IN THE 200 MILE RACE.
Only Three Entries in Noted Contest
at OrmOnd Beach.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Racing talk in
anticipation of the automobile speed
trials to take place at Ormond Beach,
Fla, practically all next week. was
rife at the show in Madison Square
Garden last night, especially after w.
F. Morgan, manager of the coming
meet, announced the entries. Twenty
races have been arranged for, and
American cars will predominant.
There will be lively competition in the
touring car classes, beyond doubt.
Only two large foreign automobiles
will compete. These will be the 100
horsepower French machine which
won the Vanderbilt cup last year and
the S0-horse-power French car which
won the cup in 1905. rt
Wagner, the winner of the race last
year, will again drive the former,
while s. B. Stevens, owner of the lat
ter, will probably act as his own
chauffeur. Neither of these two cars
will compete for the two-mile speed
crown honors. The only entries for
that race are a small 500-pound eight
cylinder Chicago car and a new steam
er which was built for competition in
the Vanderbilt cup race.
The 200-mile race has three entries,
a French car and two American ones.

A Yarn of Waddell's First Appear

The eccentricities of Rube Waddell

is as big and strong as the celebrated
bull of Bashan. za
81 remember when Waddell was

said G. Guese of the New Orleans Pei
lean. land he certainly kept the other
players busy. Kansas City was on the
circuit, and Waddell had heard all
sorts of stories about the wild and
woody west. Buelow, the catcher, was
slated to room with Waddell in the
hotel at. Kansas City, and he had re-
moved his coat preparatory to retir-
ing for the night when Waddeu came
into the hotel.
''Waddell pulled two big revolvers
from his pockets and threw them over
on the bed and sat down to read a
copy of The Life of Jesse James
Buelow gazed at the revolvers, looked
at the title of the book Rube was
reading, and decided he wanted a
change of quarters. He donned his
coat and went down to the office and
