The lust for gold and the hun
ger for power have ridden rough
shod over poverty and love and
law. and hung their banners
over every capital and every
mart. The jingle of gold sounds
even in the laugh of society, and
the eyes of the church are jaun-
diced with it. We have become
a nation of gold worshippers. I
fear that if the American people
IN their present spirit, were
transplanted to the heaven above
they would tear up the golden
streets in three hours and levy a
tax on the harps of the angels
for the benefit of the American
industry.-Ex.

Government Architect Sends Out
Drawings of Proposed Public
Building in Kenosha
DETAILS TO Be READY SOON

The plans for the Kenosha Public
Building are now being completed in
the Office Of the supervising archi-
tect and while the detailed plans for
the building have not been issued as
yet pictures of the prospective build
ing have been sent out from Washing
ton and while the building is to be
similar to many buildings erected in
Wisconsin cities for the use of the post
office department it is certain that the.
building will be one in keeping with
the present needs Of Kenosha The
pictures show that Une building win be.
one story in height and it will be suf-
fciently large to provide commodious
Offices for all the men connected with
the post Office. It will not be suitable
for use for any government Offices
should such Offices be established in
Kenosha later.
James Knox Taylor is to be the
architect in charge Of 'the building in
Kenosha and before the final specifea-
tions are drawn it is expected that he
will come to Kenosha and make an ex-
animation of conditions in order that
the building may be properly suited
to the site at the corner Of Chicago
and Market streets. The picture
shows building with two entrances.
and it is supposed that it is planned
to have the main entrance of the build
ing face Market Square and the small
er entrance on Market street. The
plan for placing the building will not
be made until the contracts have been
let. 1t is not known whether the
building will be Of Bedford stone or of
Wisconsin lime stone. In other cities
where public buildings have been built
by the Government the people directly
interested have been consulted as to-
the materials to be used and it is sup
posed that the people of Kenosha will
have chance to express their desires
IN this regard. Postmaster Maloney
has not as yet received preliminary
sketch Of the building or any notice
OF the time for the letting Of the con
tracts but it is claimed that the build
ing will be started in the early spring
and from the looks of it, it should be
an easy matter to have it completed
within a year. However in other
cities there has always been delay in
the building of Post Offices and it may
be two years before the building is
ready for the use of the Kenosha Post
Office.

DANCE FOR CHARITY
Kenosha Lodge Of EIks Holds
Annual Charity Ball at
the Germania Hall
LARGE CROWD In ATTENDANCE

The Fifth Annual Charity Ball Civ
en- by the Kenosha Lodge No. $50 of
the Benevolent and Protective order
Of Elks took place at Germania Hall
on Tuesday evening and it proved to
be the prettiest party given in Keno
sha in many day. It was certainly
the most successful of the long line
Of parties given by the local lodge and
as result of the social event large
sum was added to the charity fund Of
the Elk IS treasury
Germania Hall never looked as pref
ty as it did last night. The walls
of the big hall were completely hidden
beneath a mass of flags and bunting
while everywhere great festoons of
the Elk IS colors. Of white and purple
was in evidence. Hung across the hall
were myrlads of white and purple
electric lamps and the colors mingling
with the beautiful gowns of the women
made a scene Of great beauty.
The decorations were the most elabor-
ate ever seen in Kenosha. The music
for the dance was furnished by the
Stemm Brothers orchestra and it was
so inspiring to the dancers that every
dance met with hearty encore
More than two hundred guests were
present at the party and Kenosha So
ciety was well represented. There
were many guests from other cities
the list including large delegations
from Racine, Waukegan, Milwaukee
and Chicago.
One of the prettiest features of the
party was the spot lights used during
the different dances.
Supper was served in the dining
room Of the hall during the evening
and after supper the dancing contin-
ued until early morning.
The Committee in charge of the
party are entitled to great praise for
the success of the evening.

ENFORCING THE LAWS.

The president Of the Distiller's Sc
Curities Corporation colloquially known
as the Whisky Trust-has sent stock
holders a statement Of the condition
Of the company. 1t contains this para
graph;
'TWith reference to the Prohibition
movement, it is unnecessary to go in
to details; but it can be stated as a
fact, based upon long experience and
statistics, that all attempts to regulate
the traffic by statute, and the enforce
ment of restrictive legislation, invaria-
bly, have resulted in an increase in the
per-capita consumption in the State af-
fected. The effect of Prohibition laws is
only to change the channels and
methods of distribution
We recommend this paragraph very
earnestly to the consideration Of Prohi-
bition communities Where a majority
of the citizens place any law on the
statute books they should make it their
business to see that the law is enforced

60 MOVE TRAINS BY PHONE
Wisconsin Railways Plan To Avoid Elk.
pense of Telegraph Operators

Railways in Kenosha county will
probably begin at once the work Of
connecting all stations with long dis
tance telephones as it was declared
before the State Railroad commission.
on Tuesday that in order to get around
the new law in regard to telegraph
operators at Railway Stations this plan
would have to be put in operation.
The phone wires will be stretched on
the same poles as the telegraph wires
and they will be operated at the small
er stations by the crews in charge Of
the train similar to the manner in
which the signals are operated on the
various electric railways. This will do
away with the vast expense of keep
ing telegraph operators at the smaller
stations. The Railway officials declare
that they would prefer to have the
telegraph operators but that with the
men working but eight hours it is i'm
POSSIBLE to get men enough to care for
the smaller Offices.

HOLD REFERENDUM
sociaI Democrats Decide TO
Place Full City Ticket in
Field for City Election
TAKE PETITIONS FOR ALL

The Social Democratic party of
Kenosha is planning to put full city
ticket in the field for the coming city
election and the committee will meet
this evening to order referendum
vote among the six branches of the
party in the city to decide on the list
of candidates. Former Alderman Will
liam Kaufman the leader of the party
| in Kenosha secured petitions from the
| City Clerk this morning which will
make it possible for the party to. nomi
nate men for all wards and city Of
fees. There will be no contest among
the Social Democrats at the primary
election and the entire matter will be
fought out during the referendum the
result of which will be announced
week from tonight. The two men
most prominently mentioned for the
nomination for Mayor are Joseph Orth
Of the Eighth Ward and John Burns
of the First Ward. Both of these
men have been active in the work Of
the party in Kenosha for several
years and both are widely known
among the Socialists of the city. The
Social Democrats claim that they
have gained many converts to social
ism during the past year and they
claim that the lectures being delivered
by the Rev. Harvey Dee Brown will
do much to advance their cause The
branches in Kenosha now represent
six different nationalities and the con
trolling body is composed of men from
all Of these branches. It is claimed
that the Socialists are planning to
make fight to capture elections in
several of the wards and that in every
ward there is now a strong working
organization. The party has more
method in it's madness this year than
ever before and the leaders are expect
ing that this systematic campaign will
bring about results.
The fact that the party will have
candidates in every ward will in a
measure draw votes from the old
parties, but the leaders of the old
parties seem to think that they have
little to fear from the Socialists.

Any preventive measures that are to
be taken to prevent the introduction
of disease into this country by the
gangs OF men imported to harvest the
ice crop will have to be arranged for
by the Health officers at once as the
men will come sWarming in now with
the first drop in the temperature and they
may not wait for that The ice on the
inland lakes is reported to be nearly
nine inches thick and the companies
may decide any day TO begin cutting
at once rather than take chances on
getting thicker ice later in the season
The disease most to be feared is small
pox and the health officers will undoubt-
edly insist that every man that comes
IN with the ice cutting gang show
vaccination scars or submit to vaccina-
tion before coming into the state.
With every possible precaution taken
the county will be very lucky if the
winter passes without an outbreak of
this disease among these men. A mild
form of smallpox such as swept this
state from end to end several years
ago is epidemic in parts of many ad-
joining states and it will be a remarka
bic escape if some of the thousands Of
men who are rushed in for the ice
harvest do not bring the disease with
them. No one needs to be told that
an outbreak Of smallpox might entail
heavy expenses on the county and any
rules the health officers may see fit
to make regarding the admission Of
these men into the county or to en-
force sanitary conditions at their board
ing houses will undoubtedly be approved
by the people. The first duty of the
health officers is to protect our own
people. The convenience of the ice com
panies is a secondary consideration al
though there is no reason to believe
that the companies would be foolish
enough to oppose any measures that
the officers might take for they must
recognize the fact that in this case
an ounce of prevention is worth
several pounds OF cure to the people
of Kenosha county.
