In order that there may be no mis-
understanding in the future all OF the
candidates should tell the voters where
they stand on the proposition to reduce
missioners to one representative from
each ward. The question is likely to
come up before the men who will be
elected at the coming election finish
their terms and many Of the voters who
officials would like to know absolutely
what may be expected from the diff
chance to vote on the proposition and
they have the right to this information.
In the case Of the aldermen the proposal
to reduce the membership Of the coun-
Gil certainly seems to have much to
recommend it, In the opinion Of many
of the men who have had experience
in that body a reduction in the number
of members would expedite business but
perhaps the strongest recommendation
for the reduction and the one that
would appeal most forcibly to the
greatest number Of taxpayers is the
saving in expense to the city. Having
once started in to pay salaries it will
be difficult if not all but impossible to
60 back to the old system of making the
aldermen serve without compensation
and the difference between paying six
teen men and eight will amount to con
siderable in a few years. With no loss
in efficiency and very great saving on
the pay roll it is difficult to see where
there could be any valid objection to
the plan. There are probably legal diff
fculties in the way and an amendment
to the charter would be necessary but
all these obstacles can be overcome
easily enough when the voters once
make up their minds that they want
to make the change.

SEEK MISSING WOMAN
Mrs. Peter Paterno Disappeared, From
Home Under Unusual Circumstances

Peter Paterno has asked the police to
search for his wife young and comedy
woman who disappeared from their
home on Newell street just after six
O'Clock Monday evening under the
most unusual circumstances Mrs. Pa
terno and her husband are employed at
the Simmons factory and she had
shown no signs Of dissatisfaction with
her home or husband. just after six
O'Clock she sent the husband to the
meat market to get some meat for sup
per and when he returned he found
that his wife was gone. He declared
to the police that she had taken iewelry
and other valuables with her. The
police searched for the woman during
the night but could find no trace Of her
and it is thought possible that she has
left the city. The husband does not
seem to have any idea that the woman
has met with foul play.

MANY TAKE EXAMINATIONS
Teachers From the County Write For
Certificates At the Court House

Twenty,four school teachers and
young women who desire to be teachers
are taking the county teachers examina-
ton at the court house this afternoon.
AS usual the teachers for next year
will nearly all be women as only one
man appeared to take the examination
this morning. The teachers are from
all parts of the county and goodly
number of them are employed as teach
ers but they are writing the examina
ton with the intention Of securing a
higher grade certificate. A second ex
animation is to be held at Silver Lake
later in the spring and the teachers
from the western part of the county
will have chance to improve their
grade as teachers at that time. The ex-
ninations are being conducted by
County Superintendent j. ]. Kerwin,

This attendance at the teachers insti-
tute held. last Friday and Saturday
must have been gratifying to those in
charge of educational work in the
county and city. These institutes keep
the teachers abreast Of the latest de-
velopments in their profession and inter
ested in their work and it will not be
a great while before the attendance will
be made compulsory and part Of their
regular duty. t is practically SO now
and the results Of the special instruction
received at the institutes are already
beginning to show in the work Of the
schools.

The voters Of each party can best
show their desire for better admins
stration and cleaner city and the
claim of their party to the support OF
the taxpayers and independent voters
by the choice of candidates they make
at the primaries. There are men on the
primary ballot who have nominated
themselves for a place on the regular
ticket who never by any hook or crook
could have been nominated by a straight
convention and it is up to the voters
to choose between them and the men
who are likely to serve the city faith
fully.

The application made to the state
railroad commission by the city of
Kenosha for an examination Of the
business of the Kenosha Gas and Elec-
trio Company and readjustment of
rates is more than a political move al
though the officials Of that company
would doubtless like to make it appear
that there is nothing more in it. Sup
pose it were politics pure and simple.
1t would be mighty good politics for
there are hundreds of people who be-
ieve that they are entitled to a big
reduction in the bills rendered by the
gas company and they are going to APP
preciate any effort to get it for them.
They may be mistaken at that and very
much disappointed in the report of the
commission for the commission may de-
eide that the present rates are fair and
equitable and th"t the consumers are
not entitled to my reduction but the
people of this city will never be salts
FED now until they are handed a deci-
sion to that effect There is more, to the
proposed investigation than politics and
the men who are opposed to any
changes in the gas and electric business
in Kenosha will do well to- bear that
in mind. The people are behind this
move and what is more they firmly be-
ieve they have, a case. Leaving out
any consideration Of the political value
of the investigation to certain candi-
dates the failure of the state commits
sion to put the hearing on its calendar
was big disappointment but we take
it for granted that the commission is
dealing fairly with this city and that
the hearing on our case will come in the
regular order. As matter of fact it
surely looks as if the commission was
taking little extra time to study the
situation before taking up the problems
Of the gas and electric departments Of
it's duties.

How many business men carefully
read their fire insurance policies and
prudently comply with all their condi-
tions? The Mississippi Valley Lumber
man calls attention to a fact brought
out in discussion at the recent meeting
Of the insurance branch of the associa-
ton Of Wisconsin lumber retailers
which is of Importance to everybody
carrying a fire insurance policy. The
Lumberman says:
GA dealer had added to his shed room
by building a considerable addition. A
fire followed and the board of directors
were obliged to refuse to pay his loss.
Under the law and the provisions Of their
policy they could not do otherwise.
The hazard had been increased by the
building of the addition and the mem
Der had not reported it to the insurance
association. Ordinary repairs are adj
missible, but material changes must be
reported to the association or the in
surance company, if the owner is insur7
ed in an old line concern in order that
it may be determined whether or not
the hazard has been increased there
by"
fire insurance policy is contract.
The conditions of the contract are bind
ing upon both the parties. How can
the insurer be confident that he is full
filing his part of the contract unless he
reads his policy9 1t is tardy tactics for
the insurer to read the conditions of
the policy for the first time after he
has had a fire. Evening Wisconsin.
