Former Kenosha Man Is Named
AS Secretary to the President
to Succeed Loeb.
GETS INTO OFFICIAL CIRCLE
Gives Up Berthsin the Postoffice De-
partment Because the President
Needed His Wide Knowl-
edge of Politics

President Roosevelt is to have
Keposha man as his private secretary
as announcement was made in Wash
ington Monday night that Frank H
Hitchcock, the present First Assistant
Postmaster General, would resign his
position to become the private secre-
tary of the President. William Loeb
IT., who has served the President in
the capacity of secretary will sue
coed Hitchcock as first assistant in
the postoffice department.
For some time President Roosevelt
has been showing great liking for
the former Kenosha man and it was
stated some time ago that Hitchcock
might be asked TO enter the cabinet at
an early date. Since Mr.. Hitchcock
left kenosha to go to Washington
some thirty years ago his rise in the
official world has been decidedly rapid
and he is now one of the closest
advisers of the President and a
political power in Washington. He
has made d great record as first
assistant postmaster general and it
was largely this success that brought
him the position of secretary to the
president. 1t is understood that Mr..
Hitchcock will join the President at
Oyster Bay late in this month.
The selection of Hitchcock as pri-
|vate secretary to the President at this
time is shrewd political move and it
is argued by some that the former Ke-
noshan is really being selected as the
campaign manager for the President
in the event that he should change
his decision not to accept another
nomination for the presidency. For
some time Hitchcock has been making
trips about the country sounding the
people IN regard to the third term for
Roosevelt and his work along these
lines has been most valuable to the
President and his supporters. 1t is
understood that the change from the
postof1ce department to the private
Office of the President is one decided
ly to the liking of Hitchcock as he
has long desired to get into the inner
circle of the political life at Wash
ington.s Mr.. Hitchcock is in the very
prime of life and it is certain that he
is slated for high political advance
ment.
Secretary Hitchcock is planning to
make a short trip west and will pro-
baby stop for a few days at Kenosha
during the present summer. He has
not visited his old home here since he
began his official career at Washing
ton some twenty years ago, but many
of the people of the city have kept up
friendly relations with him.

WHILE the roads in the western mar

WHILE the roads in the western part
of the county are in much better con-
dition than those in the eastern Sec
ton they are not any too good at
their best and nowhere. in Kenosha
county do the roads compare favor
ably with those in adjoining counties.
Unless we are content to fall far be-
hind our neighbors we will soon have
to begin scientific road building
under competent engineers. 1t is
not that this county does not spend
enough money on its roads for it does,
but the money is frittered away on
temporary repairs. If the money that
is wasted in ten years under our
present system was inte1ligently ex-
pended, at the end of that period our
roads would compare favorably with
those Of any county in this state or
Illinois and that is saying a good
deal.

THIS argument over the double
tracking of Elizabeth street has
given Mr.. Frost valid excuse for de-
laying work on the extensions of the
local system for an indefinite time,
and there are whole lot of people in
Kenosha who are mean enough to say
that the delay suits him down to the
ground. Some of them live on the
streets where his company has held
franchises for five years and never
made move to build.

WE hear of great deal of discus
sion among the ladies in regard to in
stalling seats in Library Park.
There are two sides to this as well as
every other question. Undoubtedly
if seats were put in the park and
used as they ought to be, it would be
a good thing for the public. But the
trouble is, that the use the seats
would be put to most of the time, es-
pecial1y evenings, would be place
for the young people to eat bananas,
peanuts, &C., and leave the refuse ly-
ing about on the ground. This is
demonstrated every week around the
few seats there are now at the foot of
the monument. In our opinion seats
put in the park would be merely un-
slightly spots.

THE announced program of the
politicians to make the regulation"
of the insurance companies the chief
issue of the next campaign will not
be received with any too much en-
thusiasn by the tens of thousands of
policy holders throughout the state
who have good reason to fear that
their interests may suffer during the
process. In their zeal for reform the
politicians are quite as apt to do
harm as good.

TO BRING BODY HERE

Italian Murdered in Milwaukee To Be
Turned Over to ,Kenosha Relatives
The body Of Vincenz Ferrari, the
Kenosha Italian murdered in Milwau-
kee last Thursday night, will be
brought TO Kencsha for interment, as
relatives of the man in this city have
applied to the coroner of Milwaukee
county for the privilege of burying
the remains. The coroner has noti-
fed the Kenosha relatives that the
body will be turned over to them on
next Tuesday. None Of the relatives
of the man gave their names, but it is
said that they are cousins of the MUIR
dered man and that they have plenty
of money to provide for him decent
burial. No further evidence of the
manner in which the man met his
death has been discovered.

The Club In Portugal.

The German emperors summary dis
missal Of the peoples branch Of parlia-
ment has. been followed by similar
display Of executive authority in Rus
STA and also in Portugal. In Russia it
was nothing new. In fact, the novelty
there was a representative assembly to
be disciplined. But a dictator in Por-
tugal is a new turn and may mean a
reaction or may mean the dawn Of a
republic
During the last half century the gov
eminent of Portugal has become truly
representative, and the country has
prospered. The upper house Of parlia-
ment is no longer body Of hereditary
members like the British house Of
peers, but the members are now ap-
pointed for life by the king. Of re-
cent years Portugal has engaged in ex-
tensive development at home and in
its African colonies, a reason perhaps
why the nl&listry has been tempted to
rule with high hand, even at the risk
of exasperating the populace. The
loyalty Of the army was depended
upon to save the throne from public
violence, a situation which if prolong-
ed could only end in the form of mill
tary relationships which have often
prevailed in Spain and In Latin-Ameri-
can states.

was presented by Todd & Boyle. The
contractors were both formerly en-

expense for the city. The bids were
as follows: 49, $685..

NO SNAKES IN CANADA.
The Great Forests Are SingularlJ
Free from Reptiles.

A curious thing about Canadian for
eSts is that there are no snakes, and
even from description the Indian
guides did not seem to understand
what a snake would be like
Fishing all through Canada is as
good as the hunting, and should one
fail to bag a moose he is fully recon-
pensed for the trip by the abundance
of other game, including bear and
deer. There is weird melancholy
about Canadian forests, with their
hundreds of small lakes and rivers
scattered here and there, and although
the scenery never rises to the magnif1
cent, there Is something haunting
aside from the sport in it, that draws
the hunter back season after season
Canada is filled with legends and
strange superstitions, most of them OF
Indian origin, and all of them interest
ing to degree, especially when re
lated by one of the Indian guides who
can be induced to talk.-Leslie's

longing for Country Life.

A strange thing is the universal
longing of professional men and others
who have come to the city and have
prospered as they advance in life to
get back to the country. 1t is seldom
that they do return, and when they
do there is often disappointment and
things do not appear as they did long
ago. The change is in the man him
self, but he thinks it is in the country
Nevertheless, the desire to get back
to the old country place to end ones
days is very general. Sir Walter Scott
refers to it and compares the course
of man through the world to that Of
the hare which is started from hel
lair and after long chase and max
ing large circle ends by returning
to the nest from which she started.
