Lest the actions of the recently ap-
pointed advisory committee of the re-
publican party should be misunderstood
by some Of the voters Of the party, we
say again that this committee has no
power to dictate nominations and as
sumes none. Any citizen has perfect
right to come out at the primaries for
any Office on the list and the committee
will assist him in getting his petitions
and papers in shape for fling. The
committee has been filing out the
petitions Of some Of the candidates sim
ply because with it's organization it can
do the work quicker and better than
any individual, but all republicans alike
have the same claim upon it's services.

and advanced into the beautifully dec
grated parlors. First came the groom,
attended by Rev. D. W. Simpson, broth
er in law Of the bride, who led him to
a canopy Of hemlock and carnations,
then stepping aside left him alone to
await the coming of his bride. Soon
she came, leaning upon the arm of her
father, beautifully gowned in white
silk and carrying a bouquet Of brides
roses AS she took her place beside the
groom, Rev. Simpson oficiated with the
impressive ceremony.
After congratulations had been Civ
en-, the guests retired to the dining

DoN,Ts FOR MOTORISTS

The following don 'ts' should be Of
value to all motorists:
Don t try to start your motor with
the switch plug in your pocket.
Don t allow your electrical wires to
become water or oil soaked. Trouble
due to short circuiting will probably re-
suit.
Don t run your tires partially de-
fated. Nothing is more injurious to
them. Tires should be inflated so that
when the weight Of the car is resting
upon them there is no perceptible de-
Election under load.
Don't dely on your fingers to screw
down electrical connections. See that
all terminals and connections are tight
~ screwed down with plyers.
Don't tamper with your carburetter
until you know it is at fault. The
trouble is more likely to be found in
an empty gasoline tank or in the igni-
ton system.
Don't neglect your valves. Keep
your compression good and the same in
all four cylinders.
Don t forget chat kerosene is the best
medicine for the inside of a motor. A
little injected every three or four days
through the pet-cocks will free the
rings and keep the motor in good con-
dition.
Don t apply the brakes SO suddenly as
to lock the rear wheels. It is not only
wears out tires and imposes a severe
stain on the entire driving mechanism,
but is also sign Of poor driving.
Don't bulge from the garage with
out jack and an extra inner tube, or
late return may be expected.

PETITIONS ARE HERE
Members of LaFollette Club Circulate
Petitions For Delegates

Members Of the Kenosha LaFollette
Club have placed petitions in circula-
ton in all wards of the city for the
nomination Of Perry c. Wilder of
Evansville and Senator H. G. Martin
of Darlington as delegates to represent
the First District at the National Con
vention Of the Republican party to be
held in Chicago in July. It is under
stood that the petitions are also in cir
culation in every other county in the
District If there is to be any opposi
ton to these delegates selected by the
LaFollette leaders no indication of it
has been given out as yet. The dele
gates will be elected at the Spring cleo
ton to be held in April and not at the
primary election next month.

Are the universities inspired too
much by a passion to be big? That
question comes up in bordering the ann
ual report of the New York Insurance
Department.
+ In 1904, says Superintendent Kelsey,
the life insurance companies of New
York wrote $1,147, 100000 new business;
in 1907 only $455, 100000 For several
years prior to 1904 there was an average
annual gain of $473, 100000 in insurance
in force; but, for the last three years,
there has been an average annual net
loss of $18,0o0,0O0 in insurance in
force.
Many insurance men undoubtedly re
gard these facts as heavy Indictment
of the insurance laws of 1905; as prima
facie evidence Of the folly of the in
surance reform. Yet, obviously, the
real test is not how much insurance
there is, but how good it is. Is the six
billions now in force a better article
than the slightly larger amount that
was in force in 1904q
There can be no doubt about the ans
wer to that question. The billion of
new business written three years ago
was tainted with fraud upon the old
policyholders and the new. It contain
ed an immense waste. Gross sales of
patent medicines have fallen off since
the pure food law went into effect, but
fewer people are being poisoned with
whisky and cocaine.
A good deal of dissatisfaction with
the insurance laws finds expression.
That which arises simply out of the
notion that life insurance company
exits for it's own power and glory, and
that its chief duty is to be big, will
get no more consideration, we think,
than it deserves. The insurance laws
are criticised all seeming sobrie-
ty, too-on the ground that, by prescrib-
ing investments, they make the com
panies less useful to the security market
than they formerly were. This is a
charge likely to make policyholder,
remembering the Hyde syndicates, sit
down and weep with shame.
To see which one can be the biggest
is poor motive for life insurance com
panies, for universities, or for almost
anything except prize steers Saturday
Evening Post.

All sanitary experts and engineers
agree that there is no better way Of dis
posing of garbage than by burying it
and so long as the city can secure a
dumping ground on one Of the wastes of
sand either to the north or south, Keno
sha will probably go on disposing of
her garbage in that manner. Any
other method of disposing of it would
entail hundred times the expense and
not be half so effective and the city
will do well not to change until forced
TO. Under this system each Individual
pays for the removal Of his garbage him
self and the only expense to The city
is taking care of it after the dumping
ground is reached. There have been
no complaints on this system from citi-
gems 80 far and it would be foolish for
the city to assume the burden of MAX
ing these collections of refuse until
there is a demand from the public.
Kenosha is singularly fortunate in dis
posing Of this matter so easily for the
problem of how to dispose of the gar
bage is one that has caused the of
ficials Of other municipalities more
trouble and vexation than any other
one thing they have had to deal with.
1t will be some years yet before this
city has to go to the expense of erect
ing and operating crematories for
which our officials should be duly
thankful.

TURNER HANGS HIMSELF
Remorse Due to His Shooting
Son Cause.
HORRIBLE MISTAKE MADE.
Inssnely Jealous, He Imagines That
His Boy. Standing by Mother of the
Latter. to Be Some One Else. Kills
Woman and Wounds Their Child.

Clay City, ILL.,. Aug. 31.-Insane as
the result OF having slain his wife
and wounded his son In error, Julius
Turner a farmer committed suicide
In the county Jail. He hanged himself
with the sheets from his cot
The shooting OF Mrs Turner and her
son occurred on June 80. The murder
was the result OF insane jealousy on
the part of the husband The son was
mistaken for a rival and he and his
mother were shot while they were
standing in the dark Just outside the
village church. Turner, who was
sixtynine years old, had been sepa.
rated from his wife some time before
the shooting. He was reputed to be
wealthy Mrs. Turner was forty-nine
years old.
Turner, overcome by remorse and
sorrow, had been out OF his mind ever
since the shooting. He had been more
concerned in the condition OF his son
than he had in his own fate and had
frequently said he cared not what the
authorities did TO him so long as his
boy would recover In this last wish
he seemed to have been gratified. as
the boy, although seriously wounded
is recovering rapidly and is well on
the way TO health again
