WILL DEPORT RAAB
United States Government Takes
Up Case of Insane Alien Now
Cared for by This County
WILL GOVERN OTHER CASES

At the urgent request of the State
Board of Control at Madison the Uni
ted States Government has taken up
the case oftJohn Raab, an alien, sent
to the State Hospital for the Insane
from this county and Raab is to be de-
ported at the expense of the steam
ship line which brought him from
Bavaria to Kenosha in August of 1905.
Raab had been living here less than
year when he became violently in
sane. He was living at one of the
hotels in the city when taken with
the mental malady and,shis friends
sought to care for him, but he was so
violent that it was necessary to ask
the county to send him to a state
asylum for the insane. Raab has
been in the asylum since Ju1y,..1906.
AS soon as the man was sent to
Winnebago, the county judge asked
the State Board of Control to take up
the matter with the department of
commerce and labor. andl this is the
first time that the department has
acted in the matter. In his letter to
Judge S1osson, Daniel d. Damus, who
is in charge of the immigration de-
partment of the department of COM
merce and labor, stated that the gov
erment was ready to order Raab de-
ported, if the county Ejudge could
furnish the evidence needed to make
out the case against .the steamship
company. The cost of the care of
Raab, since he went to !the asylum,
must be paid iby the county, as there
is no way to charge 1this to the steam
ship company. It is possible that the
money could be collected from the
German empire, but the cost of col
lection would be much.greater than
the cost of the carei Of Raab. Sew.
era1 times each year, men who are
aliens are brought into the county
court and adjudicated insane. They
are sent to the State hospital, and
their care becomes burden on the
taxpayers of the county. If the de-
partment of commerce and labor
could act promptly insthese cases, the
steamship companies who brought
the aliens to this country could be
forced to deport themibefore they are
sent to the state institutions.

If the Civic Federation really
means business and intends to stop
the transfer of liquor licenses by the
Council it is time for the Federation to
stop fooling along with formal COM
plants to the Council and take the
matter into the Courts. The alder
men made their position clear in this
matter long ago. The ma jority of the
aldermen know the law and know
that the transfers are illegal and that
the Council has no right TO make them
bnt because it has always been the
custom IN this city to make these
transfers they propose to go on MAX
ing them Until they are compelled by
law to stop. They prefer that the
responsibility for stopping the trans
fers should rest on the Federation,
not on the Council. That is all there
is to the matter from their standpoint.
And the Federation has the law on
its side. The recent decisions of the
Courts leaves no doubt of that and
however unpopular such move
might be the Federation could an
doubtedly enjoin the Council from
transferring any more liquor licenses
if the matter was fought out in the
Courts and it is plain enough that
that is what will have to be done if
the transfers are TO be stopped.
Formal complaints to the Council are
simply waste of time.

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY

Mr.. and Mrs, Frank Hoyt, of Pleasant
Prairie, Have a Narrow Escape
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hoyt, residents
of the town of Pleasant Prairie, were
victims of bad runaway accident on
Wednesday evening. They had been
in the city and were driving south on
Ashland avenue, when the team they
were driving became frightened at
train and both Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt
were thrown from the vehicle. Mrs.
Hoyt struck against tree along the
road and was very badly bruised. Mr..
Hoyt escaped with few bad scratches.
The horses ran almost to Winthrop
Harbor before they were captured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt went to house
near the scene of the accident, where
they were cared for, and later the
team was recovered and they pro-
ceeded to their home.

Graphing In the Central Blue.

Sixty years or more ago Alfred Ten
nyson foresaw ''the nations airy navies
graphing in the central blue.o In the
same celebrated poem he prophesied
the day when the battlefags would be
furled lin the parliament Of peace, the
federation Of the world" Only few
weeks ago the national peace and arbi-
tration congress in New York discussed
ways and means which might lead up
to the world federation. Now DR.. Al
exander Graham Bell comes forward
and pictures the airship warship as
probability of the not remote future,
with airy navies graphing in the ceru-
lean.
Perhaps both Of Tennyson's visions
are to come true. May it not be that
the airy navies of the nations will Crap
pie first and the world federation fol-
low, the one being in some degree the
antecedent of the other?
If, as the noted inventor of the tele-
phone seems to believe, the flying ma
chine is going to become a tremendous
engine of destruction, will not that de-
yelopment Of aerial navigation have a
tendency to awe the nations into dis
armament, which presupposes some
form Of federation?
It is understood that the Wright
brothers, who have invented a clever
contrivance by which man actually can
fly and has flown, are now negotiating
with the German government with a
view to the Introduction of their ma
chine or it's principle in the science Of
war. Other European nations, it is said,
are dlckering for a privilege In the
American invention.
Uncle Sam seems quite willing for
the flying machine Warship to be tried
on the European dog before risking a
dose OF it himself. ALPS fair in war,
and even If the Messrs. Wright should
sell out this invention to a foreign ma
ton the United States need not and
would not permit that nation to send a
fleet of airship warships over our fair
land and rain down death and devasta-
ton upon us without meeting the visit
ing horror with something Of the same
sort When the airy navies begin to
grapple, Uncle Sam will be right there
with the goods, to use familiar Amer
icanism, no matter what part of the
central blue may be selected for the
grapple game.
The kindly old gentleman who in
vented the Calling gun thought that
horrible thing would put an end to
war. But DR.. eating died a few years
ago while his machine was moving
down the men by masses. Perhaps the
most reasonable hope for the airship
warship as deterrent lies in the diff
Guilty that will be encountered in get
ting naval enlistments for service two
miles up in the air. Even brave man
doesn't like to fall that far after the
explosion.

MAY WAIT FOUR YEARS

City May Have Long Wait for Title to
Orphan Asylum Property for PARK
The city OF Kenosha will not lake a
tax title to the orphan asylum plat
at this time as City Attorney Slater
has decided after examining the mat
ter that the title now offered for sale
by the county treasurer is valueless
and he will insist that the property
be re-assessed and re-advertised be-
fore the city pays the back taxes.
There is only one instal1ment of
taxes to be paid but in order to COM
ply with the law the property will
have to be advertised for three years.
AS there is no desire on the part of
the county to re-advertise the property
this year it will require four years
longer for the city to get tax title.

THE first thing to do in that munich
pal lighting plant proposition is to
get some accurate figures on the cost
of the kind of plant needed from a
reliable engineer whose standing is
such that the people can rely on his
estimates. There will be time enough
to consider ways and means of raising
the money if the Council decides to go
ahead after finding out how much
money the plant will cost.

the punishment hardly seems to fit

Delightful Sunday School Picnic.

The union picnic of the Baptist and
Methodist Sunday schools of Walhalla
and their guests, held in the spacious
and beautiful grove at Major VIM. j.
Stribling's, on Friday, June Ia, was one
of the most delightful occasions of the
season. The day was an ideal juno day,
clear, calm and just cool enough for COM
fort. The grounds were eminently suited
to the purpose to which they had been
put, furnishing ample shade for both
man and beast and being entirely free
from all disturbing elements, such as
snakes and "skeeters," ticks and chigoes.
The crowd was in excellent spirits
and every one seemed desirous of pro
noting the happiness of others.
AS to the dinner and iced lemonade
and that large pot of aromatic and deli
cious coffee, which Mrs. Striblipg's
thoughtful kindness had provided-well,
the picnickers did ample justice to them,
indeed, but say they cannot in words.
The tables not only groaned under the
weight of the viands spread, but one of
them actually gave way beneath its bur-
dens.
With divers games to amuse the young
folks, swings for the smaller children
and pleasant social chat on the part of
the older people, the time passed rapidly
and delightfully."-. To the committee OF
arrangements, as also to Major Stribling
and his family, credit is due for the sue
cess of the occasion.
