THE railroad companies have served
notice on the people of the Northwest
that if there is any local famine" in
that section next winter it will be the
fault of the local dealers and not of
the railroad companies. The railroads
have cut rates on coal and offered
every inducement to the dealers to
move their coal now when the roads
can handle the business, and the
managers of the transportation COM
paries do not propose 90 be held re-
sponsible for delays in forwarding
coal shipments after the rush to move
the crops IS on, and later when the
snow has blocked the lines. After
this warning it is clearly the fault of
the dealers if they are caught short
again next winter, and the public will
know where to place the blame for
any suffering that ensues.

Committee to Continue the Search for
the Body of John Gi1lett in Gas Tank
The special committee of the Com
mon Council which has for it's one
work the search for the body of John
Gillett has not given up the idea that
the body of Gillett may be in the pit
under the gas tank and Chairman
Truax of the committee announced
last night that he had employed
diver to make a trip into the tank.
Speaking of the matter Chairman
Truax said: 81 myself do not believe
that the body of Gillett is in the tank
but some of the people do not seem to
be satisfied and we have arranged to
put the diver into the tank on the first
day that he can leave his work south
of the city. 1t is possible that this
action will have tendency to remove
all doubts of the people and if such is
the fact the committee will be salts
fed to bear this EXPENSE" It is
thought that the diver will get TO
work in the tank within another
week.

A QUIET WEDDING

Julius Larsen and Miss Clara Petersen
Married Late Wednesday Afternoon
There was quiet little wedding at
the Office of Justice Edward Donahue
on Wednesday afternoon at FIVE
O'Clock, the contracting parties being
Julius Larsen and Miss Clara Peter
sen, both well known young people of
the city. The ceremony was per-
formed by the justice in the presence
of small party of the friends of the
contracting parties. After the cere-
mony the members of the bridal party
retired to the home of the bride where
an informal reception was held. Mr..
and Mrs. Larsen left last night for
Northern Wisconsin where they will
spend short honeymoon, after
which they will make their home in
Kenosha.

EXPERIMENTS now being carried on
in different sections of the county in
dictate that a large percentage of the
acreage is adapted to sugar beet rails
ing, and it is probable that within a
few years Kenosha county farmers
will cultivate this crop on large
scale. Last year the farmers of Wis
consin sold their sugar beet crop for
upwards of a million dollars, and
from present indications the returns
this year will be even larger, and if it
IS demonstrated that Kenosha county
can produce high grade sugar beet,
the farmers of this section are likely
TO go after their share of this bust
ness.

THE kind of an appointment the
Governor makes to fill that vacancy
on the State Railroad Commission
may have more 10 do with his political
future than he imagines just at pres
ent. The people occasionally require
that a politicians performances
square with his promises, and they
are beginning to wonder whether or
not Davidson is "his own man" after
all. The Commission should not be
weakened by the appointment of some
man whose principal qualification for
the place is that the Governor owes
him political debt.

RANGE co. BEATEN
Racine Court Decides Wrought
Iron Range CO. Must Produce
Notes Against Farmers
FARMERS HERE INTERESTED

& A case of considerable interest to
large number of farmers was decided
in favor of the defendant in the
Municipal Court in Racine. Wednes-
day by Judge Heck. The Wrought
Iron Range company of St. Louis was
the plaintiff and was represented by
Attorney Meyers. The q defendant
was William H. Ulrich, who purchased
a range from the scompany as did
also large number of other repre-
sentative farmers of Racine and Ke-
nosha counties. Ulrich resides in
the town Of Caledonia, four miles
north of Racine and was thesonly one
of the farmers sued for the amount of
the note minus the deduction made
from the price for the return of an
old stove.
It seems that the company sent out
its agent among the farmers and sold
the ranges, taking a note sfor $73 in
payment, some of the sllrunning
for one, two or three years. The
company sued UlrichEfor SIS, claiming
that the note had slost. In the
pleadings the companya set forth the
fact that the agent never turned the
notes in to the company.but'embe zzled
them, turning in instead, forged
notes for the same amounts. The
company had dispositions to show that
the agent embezzled. It attempted
to collect the forged notes, the farm
4
when it could not do. so began the
suit.
The defendant, throughss.his attor-
neys, Fish & Storms,s held that he
could not be made to pay the note as
he did not know but that the note
might fnd its way intoi.other persons
hands and that heinightsbes compelled
to pay it the second!time. The COM
pany offered to furnish the.defendant
a bond of indemnity which would
protect him but this..was refused.
After listening to thej testimony in
the case Judge Heck on Imotion of
the defendants attorneysigto dismiss
the action, decided against the plain
tiff company and in favor Of the de-
fendant, it being held....that the COM
pany had failed tosssprove Gthat the
note had been lost but merely en-
bezzled. It seems to bel thes general
opinion that the company should pro-
coed against the agent wholembezzled
the notes and supposedly is....still in
possession of them and not against
the farmers.
There are fifty similar5 suits pend
ing against farmers IN Kenosha
county and similar action in the
Justice Courts here was recently de-
cided against the company.

"A PROJECTION of two feet, or of only
one foot, to amplify shop window, is
an invasion of space set aside for pub
lie use, and such encroachments can
be endured least of all in the business
sections, where sidewalk traffic is
heavy and every foot of walk is valu-
able. The authorities of cities should
hold rigidly to the property lines and
refuse to permit encroachments upon
the sidewalks in the business sec
tions, where the safety and comfort
of pedestrians should be considered
rather than the desires of those who
wish to devote public space to private

A variety of views as to the future
Of women's trades unions was display
ed at the recent conventions Of
ieaguers held in the principal cities.
1t is self evident that the women can
not as speedily attain success as have
the men, because they have not the
voting power of the men. Unquestion-
ably the suffrage has helped men to
make their case heard. Protestants
who may keep their mad up until the
next election are not to be waved aside.
Even without the ballot the women
are finding that the development Of
unions is means of progress. Leagues
Of unions have become necessary and
are step toward the naturalization
of interests and efforts. The organiza-
ton and management Of women's so
cial clubs are object lessons in practical.
politics for the classes which engage
In this work. Workingwomen should
not be outdone by women Of more
leisure and opportunity, Tor IL the pal
lot is given to the sex it must mean
more to the toilers than to those whose
interests are mainly social. 1t is a
long way between enthusiasm for
cause in a convention and fidelity to
that cause at the polls. This is an i'm
portant truth for women leaders to
learn. They may learn it in local un-
ions and in conventions Of federated
unions. And, failing to get the ballot,
they may also learn in these move
ments of organization and propaganda
how to WELD for the general good that
political influence they undoubtedly
have now among their relatives,
friends and associates who are already
voters.

PARK SYSTEM

The city of Kenosha will never have
a better time to purchase land for a
recreation park than at present.
Prices are raising every year and
there is still a considerable amount of
acre property north and west of the
city which is within a suitable dis
Take for instance the Balm estate
land west of the city; there are sew
eral pieces which would make good
parks, and which at the present time
for park purposes could undoubtedly
be purchased by the city at reasonable
prices. There are very few cities the
size of Kenosha but what have more
parks of the recreation order. 1t is
not necessary to complete park sys-
tenn all at once. The first thing to do
is 10 get the land, and every year that
passes makes that proposition harder.
Of course we understand that the city
can't do everything in the buying
line, but the city government is col
lecting in taxes more than double it
used to very few years ago, and if a
little piece of this extra money could
be turned toward large piece of land
for park purposes for the future,
some of the rich people of Kenosha
we feel sure would help, and thereby
get start on park system for the
benefit of all the people, giving a
place for outdoor rest and recreation.
