New Liability Laws.

President RooSevelt's proposal in his
last Jamestown speech that workmen
should receive certain definite and
limited compensation for all accidents
in industry" Is broader than any law
on the statute books in this country.
The president thinks there should be
no need Of lawsuit to recover damages
and that there is no sound distinction
between accidents caused by negli-
gence and those which are unavoidable.
Heretofore it has been possible in
many states for the employer to plead
the negligence Of fellow employee Of
the injured man as a defense in dam
age suits.
The new law in Pennsylvania defines
very clearly the feature OF 'contribu-
tory negligence" 1t regards every
person in control Of work or machinery
as the agent Of the employer and any
act of fellow servant" done under
orders given by an employer or his
agents as an act of the employer. This
law has been classed as the most dras-
tic Of the kind ever proposed in the
United States. Nevertheless it implies
that there may be ''contrlbutory negli-
gence," for it specifies instances where
negligence may not be pleaded by the
employer, leaving 1t to be assumed that
in cases not specified there may be
negligence on the part Of the employee
which frees the employer from liabili-
ty. Where the provisions are plainly
stated in statutes both employers and
employees will be at pains to guard
against accidents.

Uncle Sam. Philanthropist.

Agriculture is the bulWark Of a ma.
ton. 1t is the most important indus
try on earth, for without the tilling
of the soil we cannot eat nor be clad
The farmer supplies both food and
clothing material for the world Wise
is that nation, then, which fosters ag-
riculture. The United States leads the
world in this respect. Uncle Sam has
been engaged for a matter Of sixty
years In bolstering up his bulWark He
has been giving away land to his chill
dren. In one sense this is wholesale
philantnsophy. In another sense it is
simply a movement toward self preser-
walton. In any event 1t Is a mighty
good thing for the people.
Somebody has figured that Uncle Sam
has given away or sold at nominal
price more than 100000 farms Of 100
acres each. This means that approx
mately 100000 people have been
supplied with homes, the means Of
liyelihood-life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness. It means great deal
more than that The lands thus turn
ed over to the farmers for development
have produced surplus which has
gone long way toward feeding the
teeming millions who inhabit our towns
and cities and do no agricultural work.
They have increased our exports and
added to the wealth Of the nation an
almost incalculable sum.
Under the homestead law, which
passed congress In 1862, largely
through the efforts Of the late Galusha
A. Grow, about 100000 quarter Sec
lions Of land have been given to the
heads Of families settling upon the
land. That homestead law has Gre
ated new commonwealth in our Union.
1t has developed vast tracts Of land
formerly supposed to be practically
worthless and has proved that those
lands are highly productive when prop
erly cultivated. Individual failures
have resulted, and the element Of trag-
edy has not been absent, but on the
whole the operation Of the homestead
law has been distinct and undenia-
BILE blessing, making millions Of peo-
pie prosperous and happy and winning
wealth unfold from tho vyi1dornocS and
the semiarid plains.
Uncle Sam is truly benevolent rela-
tive, the champion philanthropist Of
the world.

rs spite of the fact that the matter
has been discussed more or less for
years, and very generally during the
last ten months, we find that there is
still good deal of misunderstanding
in regard to the proposition made by
Ahe Northwestern road for the paving
of West Main street. A good many
Deople have an idea that the city
could go ahead with the paving of the
street and levy special assessment
against the company for its share of
the cost just as it could against
private property owner. This is not
the case. The law provides that rail-
ways cannot be assessed for improve
ments unless the improvements are
needed in conducting their business,
and sewers and paving do not come
ander the head of railway business.
In this connections it may be mentioned
ahat the railroad has never paid the
special assessment for the paving in
front of the freight house, and the
rity has never been able to collect it
either. The railroad could never be
forced to pay its share of the paving
of West Main street, and every dollar
the company agrees to pay for that
purpose comes as practically free
gift to the city of Kenosha. This is
the reason why those who understand
the situation have been so anxious to
have the council accept the offer made
by the railway company to Mayor
German without delay. The railway
company is at last willing to "do
something for Kenosha" and it would
be foolish for the city to refuse to
rake what the railway is willing to
give.

OLD LIGHTHOUSE TO 60
North Point Signal Station Discon.

North Point Signal Station Discon-
tinued After 70 Years. Service
After safely guarding mariners into
Milwaukee for sixty nine years the
North Point lighthouse is to be dis
continued at the end of the month.
Congress voted to discontinue this
light in the last river and harbor bill
which it enacted. The lighthouse was
built in 1888 in Lake Park on the land
it occupies today. 1t was built in its
present form in 1888. Mrs. George
A. Stebbins, who has been in charge
of the lighthouse for thirty-three
years, will retire. Mrs. Stebbins took
charge Of the beacon upon the death
of her husband. The light was con-
sidered a valuable beacon in fair
weather. This is shown by the fact
that a number of vessels ran ashore
during the foggy weather, particu-
larly among them a Goodrich boat,
and the Orion.

II is rather pity that the children
of St. Mary's summer home are to be
the first to suffer from the restrictions
of the railway rate laws and that their
vacation is to be cut because the
Northwestern railroad can no longer
give them free transportation to Ke-
nosha. 1t is possible, however, that
transportation could be arranged for
if the attention of President Frost of
the Chicago and Milwaukee was called
10 the matter. He has always shown
himself ready and willing to "help
ont'' in cases of this kind and he
might be able to arrange to have the
children brought to Kenosha on the
electric road. In case the rate law
applies to his road as we'll as the
Northwestern there is a chance for
some friend of the children to do a
great deal of good with the expendi-
anre of small amount of money.

THIEVES GET HARNESS
Unknown Men Break Into the Barn of
J.F. Dougine on Wednesday

Unknown Men Break Into the Barn of
j. F. Dougine on Wednesday
Chief O'Hare and his men have
been notified that early Wednesday
morning unknown men broke into the
barns on the farm of ]. f. Dougine
on South Ashlsnd avenue and carried
away double harness valued at $50
The entrance to the barn was made
by breaking one Of the doors from
the hinges. 1t is thought that the
band OF horse thieves which has
been at work in this neighborhood
had planned raid on the Dougine
barn but that they were frightened
away after taking the harness by the
barking of a neighbour dog.
No trace of the horses stolen in
Bristol and Somers have been found
by the officials and it seems that these
men are able to elude the officers.
The work shows the indication of
professional thieves and it is thought
that the officials will have hard time
locating the much wanted gang.

case the employee shall be entitled to

Enthusiasm Of Young America in
Celebrating Nations Birth
day to Be Curbed
FIRE WORKS TO BE BARRED
Ban Will Be Placed on the Toy Pistol
and the Mayor and Police Chief
Will Seek to Bring About
a"B1ood1essn Fourth

The enthusiasm of Young America
in Kenosha when it comes to cele-
brating the Fourth of July will have
a curb placed on it this year as Mayor
German will in a few days issue a
proclamation declaring in favor of
the So called "sane Fourth" for Ke-
nosha and harmful fireworks will be
tabooed in the city. There is another
thing that will call down the hand of
the law, and that is, any premature
celebration of the nations birthday.
The mayor and chief of police have
no desire to interfere with any proper
expression of patriotism on the part
of the young or the old on the Fourth
of July, but if possible accidents will
be eliminated by cutting out the
cause.
Some time ago the dealers in re-
volvers and cartridges in the city sent
a petition to the mayor asking for
advice in regard to the purchase of
blank cartridges and while the mayor
gave no formal answer to this petition
8
no harmful fireworks would be per-
mitted in the city and few of the
hardware men have laid in supply of
blank cartridges and toy pistols. The
dealers in fireworks have followed the
rule laid down by the mayor last year
in buying their stocks for this year
and it is probable that no dangerous
fireworks will be offered for sale in
Kenosha. The Fourth promises to
be pretty quiet day for Kenosha
people outside of the usual shooting
of firecrackers and the fireworks at
night.
The old business mems committee
which for years has struggled to hold
a celebration of the nations birthday
has given up early in the season this
year and not even meeting was call
ed. Kenosha county will have one of
the leading celebrations in the state
at Paddocks Lake as Speaker. Ekern
of the Wisconsin Assembly will de-
liver the address at the celebration
given under the auspicies of the Old
Settlers Club and it is expected that
many leading politicians from all
parts of the state will go out to Salem
to be present when the speaker de-
livers his annual address.
There will be no league base ball
game in Kenosha and no cricket game
and the only athletic events scheduled
for the day will be the golf events on
the links of the Kenosha Country
Club. Some interesting matches have
been arranged for the day on the golf
links. There will be the usual number
of picnics at the different pleasure
parks in the city and several of the
patriotic associations of the city are
planning to hold picnic on Wash
ington Island
Out at the Balm track the Kenosha
Gentlemen's Driving Club will give
their first racing meet of the year
and it is certain that there will be
large number of horses entered and
fine sport is promised.

THE principals and teachers are
glad to see that there is one time in
the year when the parents and guar
dams of the pupils take an interest in
The schools, but it would be good
deal better for the children and for
the schools if some of the interest
displayed at Commencement time was
spread out over the year. One of the
hardest and most discouraging things
a teacher has to contend with is the
apathy of those who should be the
most interested in their work.

WAS BADLY HURT
Ward McCarron Run Down BY Care
less Bicycle Rider on Park Street

Ward McCarron, the little son of
Justice and Mrs. George B. McCarron,
met with. painful injuries just after
dark Friday evening when he was
run down by careless bicycle rider.
The boy had been playing in front of
his home on Park street and had
attempted to cross the street when an
Italian riding wheel on which there
was no light and which was being run
on the wrong side Of the street ran
the little fellow down. He was struck
in the head with the wheel and it was
necessary to call physician to attend
him. The Italian got away, but was
later captured by one of the police
men of the city. He was not arraign-
ed in Court as Mrs. McCarron refused
to appear against him. The bicycle
riders seem to be getting decidedly
reckless and few arrests will help
matters some.

II begins to look as if the horse
thieves we're making regular CAM
paign ia the county and the farmers
may have to organize again for mu-
tnal protection. The county is well
covered by the rural telephone lines,
and with any kind of an association,
whose members could be called upon
for help at any time, the chances Of
running down the thieves would be
greatly increased.
