THE interest taken In the Civic
Federat;on's prize contest in which
the awards were made Thursday is
but reflection of the public senti-
ment In favor of the Federation's
plans for a new park in the city.
There can be little doubt but that the
Federation will receive substantial
backing from outsideits own member
ship when the time comes to put its
plan to secure peoples park into
execution. The city is in need of
jnst such playground as the Fedora
zion proposes to provide and a great
many Kenosha people who are not
especially interested in the Fedora
ton but who believe in extending the
park system recognize the fact that
the park can be secured through the
efforts of the Federation easier than
in any other way and they will help
along the work In every possible way.

n is about time for the annual
meeting of the Hospital Association,
and it would be grateful tribute to
the devoted men and women who have
carried on the work of the hospital
and made the institution what it is to-
day for all members of the association
to attend thealneeting. The least the
members of the association can do is
to show their appreciation of the good
work that is being done at the hos
pital, and the best way to do that and
the way that will most please the
officers of the association, who are
shouldering the responsibilities of
management, is to take a personal
interest in the institution.

ASKS FOR FREEDOM
Jacob Gerbovitz Asks the Court
to Release Him From the
State Insane Asylum
CLAIMS He is WELL AS EVER

Jacob Gerbovitz tried at this term
of the circuit court on a charge of
attempting to murder his wife and
adjudged insane by jury in the Cir
cult Court has sent formal request
to Judge Belden asking that he use
his influence to secure his release
from the state hospital at Winnebago.
The letter indicates that Gerbovitz is
now perfectly sane and it certainly
contains no indication of the'ravings
that we're so prominently displayed
during the recent trial of Gerbovitz.
In his letter the man states that he
has entirely recovered his health and
that he is anxious to get out of the
asylum and get to work again. Ger
bovitz gives assurance that he will
not further bother his wife as he
states that if the Court can secure his
release he will return to Kenosha,
settle up his affairs and leave at once
for Milwaukee where he will make his
home. Gerbovitz, it will be remem-
bered, attempted to kill his wife here
the latter part of January and after
ward shot himself inf1icting danger
Gus wound. He recovered from the
wound and when placed on trial he
pleaded insanity. Experts who ex-
an1ined him declared him sane and
the Court refused to commit him to an
asylum without submitting the ques-
ton to the jury. The facts in regard
to the killing did not go to the jury as
the attorney for the defendant limit
ed his defense to that of insanity.
The jury found Gerbovitz insane and
from the hour that the verdict was
brought IN the man began to improve.
He was taken to Wiunebago and when
he reached the hospital he showed no
signs of madness and his recovery
has been of the phenomenal type.
More than month ago Gerbovitz
first began to seek his release by
writing to the sheriff and other court
officials. Judge Belden has taken no
action in the case and it is probable
that Gerbovitz will remain at the
hospital for time at least. The
relatives of the man in Kenosha seem
to have no intention of prosecuting
him further if he is released from the
hospital.

The Cost of Livin., In America.
What every careful housekeeper III
The land, likewise every spendthrift
purse bearer, has found out for herself
the bureau Of labor at Washington now
conffms-the cost Of living has increas-
ed again. The bureaus statistics re-
late to wholesale prices. Retail prices
are now being tabulated and compared.
The increase in cost of 258 commodi-
ties in 1906 over 1905 was more than
512 per cent, and compared with 1897
the rise amounts to 361a pei. cent, con-
siderably more than One-third
The study of the bureau was extend
ed to farm products, foods, clothes and
clothing, fuel and lighting, metals and
implements, lumber and building ma
terials, drugs and chemicals, house fur
nishing goods and miscellaneous COM
modities. Only two of the nine groups
showed decrease in price as COM
pared with 1906 drugs and chemicals
and farm products-but there must
have been some mistake about the lat
ter or else the cornerers of butter and
eggs have been playing low down
game with the consumers
The bureau Of labor has made no at
tempt to go into the causes of the rise
and fall of prices. The aim has been
to give the prices as they actually pre-
vailed In the market. In explaining
why it does not discuss the increase in
prices the bureau says:
The causes are too complex, the relative
influence of each too uncertain, in some
cases involving too many economic ques-
lions, to permit their discussion in con-
nection with the present article. 1t will
be sufficient to enumerate some Of the in
fuences that cause changes in prices
Such influences include variations in har-
vest, changes In demand due to changes
In fashions, seasons, ETC.; legislation or
dering internal revenue taxes, import du-
ties or bOuntieS; inspection as to purity
or authorizations; use Of substitutes-as,
for instance, an advance in the price OF
beef will causes an increased consumption
Of pork and mutton and, 1t may be add
ed, probable increase in the price OF
both pork and mutton; improvements in
methods Of production; cheapening OF
transportation or handling; speculative
manipulation Of the supply Of the raw
product; overproduction; unusual demand
owing to steady employment Of the con-
sumerS; organization or combination Of
mills or producers, thus enabling on the
one hand a greater or less control of
prices, or, on the other hand, economies
in production or in transportation charges
through the ability to supply the article
from the point of production or manufac-
ture nearest the purchaser.

KENosHA is naturally very much
interested in the movements of the
different railway companies and pro-
motors who are looking over the
ground with view to building an
electric road to the western part of
the county. Kenosha people would
like to see he road built and they do
not care a great deal who builds it so
long as the construction of the line is
not greatly delayed. Mr.. Frost has
pretty good control of the local situa-
tion but for all that it does not follow
that he is able to shut out of the city
any other company with satisfactory
financial backing that will build
west and wants to get into Kenosha.

SEEK MISSING MAN
w. Smaze1. Well Known Hotel Man
Thought to Be Hiding in Kenosha

W. OmaZG1S wen KNOWN dOCel Wan
Thought to Be Hiding in Kenosha
Chief of Police O'Hare and his men
are seeking to find some trace of
William Smazel, a well-known hotel
man OF Clover, Wis, who has been
missing since last Monday and who is
alleged to be hiding in Kenosha.
Smazel, who is the proprietor of
Clover Hall, summer resort IN Wau-
kesha county, left his wife behind
when he left Glover, and she alleges
that he fled with a young woman that
had been working at the hotel. The
couple were traced to Kenosha, but
thus far the police officers have not
been able TO locate them. Smazel is
widely known among resort keepers
about Milwaukee and he was formerly
prominent as politician~ The police
have discovered that the eouple were
here last Monday night, but it is
thought that they hurried through
Kenosha and went to Chicago or some
other city.
