TO SAVE THE WINDOWS
Police Ordered to Arrest Boys Found
Throwing Stones in the Streets

Police Ordered to Arrest Boys Found
Throwing Stones in the Streets
Chief of Police O'Hare has issued
orders to his men that all boys and
men found throwing stones in the
streets shall be arrested and brought
into court. In the past week two
large plate glass windows have been
broken by the careless boys and in
most cases they are unable to pay for
the windows. There is a city ordi-
nance under which the boys may be
fined and the fire and police COM
mission has ordered the chief to see
to it that the law is enforced against
these boys. The latest victim of this
stone throwing is the Dagenbach
building on Milwaukee avenue, where
large window was broken on We'd
nesday evening. This is the second
window to be broken in this building
within year.

THE tract Of land which the Civic

THE tract Of land which the Civic
Federation proposes to secure for a
park is beautifully situated for the
purpose, and the plan to provide a
real public play ground has been very
favorably received. The rapid growth
of the city in the past three years is
warning enough that more parks will
be needed in the very near future, and
the corresponding1y rapid increase in
the price of real estate anywhere near
the city is also warning that if the
future citizens of Kenosha are to en-.
JOY additional parks now is the time
to get them.

AS real estate values are now the
price asked for the tract of land
which the Civic Federation proposes
to secure for park, thousand dol
lars an acre, is not excessive and
there is every indication that values
in that section are going up instead
of down. The federation will look a
long time before they find another
tract of land as well fitted for park
purposes at a lower price.

WE expect to see sharp debate
over the question of municipal owner
ship of a lighting plant between now
and election day, but there is no
reason why the discussion c. mot be a
good natured one on both sides. Let
it be understood that every man has
right to his opinion and that all are
going to vote in accordance with their
honest convictions as to what is for
the best interests of the city In this
matter, and there need be no hard
feeling engendered. The great ma
jority of the voters can have formed
no opiuion on the question one way or
another as yet, and the side which
presents the best arguments for or
against the proposition should win at
the polls. The NEWS proposes to do
its part in the discussion by printing
all the information on the subject it
can get from any and every source for
the benefit of its readers, no matter
which side is favored bv the facts
brought out, and it expects every man
who is interested in the welfare. of
the city to do his part by making pub
lie through its columns any informa-
ton or special knowledge having any
bearing on the matter of which he
may be possessed. The time is very
short in which to investigate matter
of such Importance to every taxpayer
in the city, and the Campaign OF
education" must be started at once.
This is a case where delays are dan
eerous if there ever was one.

no rights on them whatever. There
are altogether toe many complaints
of discourteous treatment of pedes-

complaints continue the police may

COOPER COMES OUT
First District Congressman Makes
Formal Announcement of His
Candidacy for Senator
CAUCUS MAY BE CALLED SOON

Congressman H. A. Cooper Of the
First congressional district late
Thursday night announced his can
didacy for United States senator.
This determination was arrived at
after consulting with his friends and
supporters, and after fully consider
ing the situation. The first news of
his candidacy came through the
statement of Assemblyman w. H.
Bell of Mr.. Cooper's home district,
who said:
sMr. Cooper is a candidate for the
United States senate. He has au-
thorized this announcement after
consulting with his friends in and
outside of his congressional district.
His supporters are confident that he
will be successful"
Following the statement of Assem-
bly, SAss~ Bell, Congressman Cooper
gave out the following interview.
IF I correctly analyze present con-
ditions in Wisconsin, no man can
presume to represent this state in
the United States senate who does
not realize that Wisconsin is the
leader of all the states in the move
ment for new deal in government. /
am convinced that the people of Wis
consin expect that the senator to be
elected shall be willing to do more
than merely acquiesce in the truth of
this. believe that they expect Wis
consin's advanced position will be
REINFORCED through the selection of
a senator now to be made. ] announce
myself as candidate not because
there are no other candidates. in the
field who might amply fill these re-
quirements, but because the present
situation demands thatthe,legislatur
should have formally before it the
candidates. of such men as are will
ing to accept The responsibilities of
representing the determination and
high purpose oil the people of Wis.
consin.
.sMany friends in the First and
other districts have paid me the COM
pliment of asserting that my record
of fourteen years in the house of rep-
resentatives is such as at least as to
justify my candidacy.
Lieut.. Gov. Connor, chairman of
the Republican state central CONF
mittee, announced Thursday after
noon that he would not call a general
party caucus preliminary to the cleo
ton of a senator until majority
sentiment of all the candidates inter-
ested fixed upon time. When this
will be arrived at cannot be stated
by the chairman, for, Notwithstanding
the fact that he has talked the caucus
question over with some of the more
prominent lieutenants in the various
camps, no decision was reached.
~ have been giving he time Of
holding a caucus some consideration,
said Chairman Connor Thursday
night land have discussed the matter
with a number of the men interested.
AS near as can ascertain none of the
men in the field or themembers who are
principally directing their campaigns
have any definite time fixed in their
plans when the caucus should be held.
1t is my purpose to ascertain what
the expression of these men is re-
garding the time when the general
party caucus should be held and then
act in accordance with the majority
opinion.

twill thus be seen that the cost
per light for the year 1905 is $52.63.
For the year 1902 this expense per
light was $53 81; for 1908, $54 SO, and
for 1904, SIS. 10.
1t must be further taken into con-
sideration that in the above list there
is no item of water for boilers, etc.,
insurance, taxes lost, depreciation
and interest on TIE investment and

cost Of building the plant. It strikes
the undersigned that. it'would be most
interesting to apply these figures as
given above, in comparison with the
figures recently published in your
paper, as submitted by the Milwaukee
General Engineering company for it
seems apparent that there are many
figures given in the foregoing table
that were omitted from those formerly
published. To vote intelligently on
the municipal ownership question, |
should rather take, it seems to me,
the figures which have been compiled
from an actual trial of municipal
ownership than figures based merely
on speculative estimates.
Like others who have the welfare
Of the city at heart, do not put for
ward the above figures as in any way
conclusive, but merely IN the way of
suggestion, and for what they may be
worth. But figures based on ex-
perience, it strikes me, talk louder
than generalities based on specula-
ton. Yours very truly,
AN INTERESTED CITIZEN.

True in Deaths of Well known People
A divine warning, voiced IN three
deaths among the supporters of Vol

clared fact today by members of the
sect that was faithful TO Dowie to the
end. Thursday morning H. P.
Templeton, 40 years old, manager of
the box factory and a former deacon
in the Christian Catholic church, died
at his home in Zion City. His death
was the last of the alleged divinely

Crimes Bill of Costs.

Working it out ia various ways, from
the expenses of policing up to loss by
fires due to criminal acts, the Rev
John Munro, writing in Harper's Week
", figures out the nations annual crime
bill at over $1,000O00,O0O. Approx
mately $10O,OOO0O0 Of this outlay may
be assessed to crime hunt-that Is to
say, the detection and proving of the
criminal. This is big burden to fall
upon the innocent party, the state
which means the people,
Aside from the enormous expenditure
Of the state for the securing of the
criminal, there follows the still greater
burden of loss In effacing the results
Of the crimes, as the maintenance of
penal and reformatory institutions, the
loss to individuals through crime and
all the machinery to safeguard the
community against crimes that may or
may not be committed In civil suits
the loser must generally pay all or part
of the costs. If the same principle
were applied to criminals it would add
terrors to the penalty fixed by penal
laws, which at present for some delin-
cuents is, after ALL merely nominal.
Some criminals could well afford to
pay the state for the expense of putting
them behind the bars. If this were in
Guided in the risks Of the crime they
might pause before committing it.
