Every good citizen that is asked to

Every good citizen that is asked to
run for Office freely admits that it is
the duty of every man to serve his fell
low citizens IN office if called upon, but
altogether too many of them are too
wise. or too selfish whichever way you
want to look at it to go into cam
paign. A business man who takes Of
fee sacrifices more than any one be
lieves who has never tried it and the
rewards and honors OF public offices
have little attraction for the average
man. Moreover these same good eiti-
zens are the first to criticise bad admin
istration apparently never realizing that
we will never have good government
until they themselves "take an inter-
est in politics. Beyond dispute the
so-called "better element' that only
stirs in its sleep about once in ten wears
is directly responsible for the evils of
which they complain

The two cent fare law has now been
in operation for six months and the
companies are now able to gather ac-
curate figures on the effect of the lower
rate on their business and these figures
show that the roads have not as yet
suffered much from the reduction. The
financial stringency of the past six
months makes that period poor one
to figure on for purposes of comparison
but the roads have SO curtailed operat-
ing expenses since the law went into
effect that even with the stringency to
contend with the business Of the com
panies shows no loss for this six months
period, and there is reason to believe
that with ordinary times the business
may show an increase under the lower
rate due however not so much to any
great increase in travel as to the econo-
mics inaugurated Whether these econ
omles are such as to seriously affect the
efficiency of the service, remains to be
seen but it o certain that the railroads
will not run any trains at loss unless
forced TO do so and the number Of trains
is likely to be greatly reduced.

LAW DOES NOT APPLY
City Attorney Holds That Hold
Over Aldermen Cannot Draw
Pay Under Ordinance
LAW AFFECTS NEW MEN ONLY

In order to set right any arguments
in regard to the recent ordinance pass
ed by the City Council by which sala-
ries were voted to the Mayor and mem
bers Of the common council, City Attor-
ney G. Slater has given out an official
opinion in regard to the matter The
opinion is given in the following open
letter to the Evening News:
Editor Evening News;'
For the information of the citizens
Of Kenosha and in justice to the pres
ent aldermen, and to dispel any false
impression that may have been, and I'M
doubtedly has been created in the minds
OF some Of our taxpayers, i. e. that the
present aldermen have voted salary
for themselves by the passage Of the
ordinance providing a salary for the
mayor and aldermen, beg to state that
said ordinance does not and cannot ap-
ply to the present mayor, nor to the
aldermen whose terms will shortly ex-
pire, neither does it apply to the hold
over aldermen.
In the consideration of the ordinance
each alderman was fully advised and
thoroughly understood that no salary
would attach to any Of the present al
dermen.
The ordinance is plain and simple
and is susceptible Of but one construc-
ton; the last section of the ordinance
reads as follows; "This ordinance shall
take effect and be in force from and
after it's passage and publication and
shall apply to the mayor and aldermen
hereafter elected"
Without this section, any action of
the council voting salary to apply or
intended to apply to any of it's present
members, would be illegal and could not
be upheld.
Respectfully submitted,
John G. Slater,
City Attorney.
Dated Feb. 20, 1908.

In addition to the fact that the voters
are really displaying signs of an inten-
ton to take a real interest in the com
ing election there is another matter for
congratulation in connection with the
coming campaign and that is that we
are not likely to see the agents of any
street car company taking an active
part and trying to influence voters as
was done two years ago. For one rea-
son there is no money now in the ex-
pense account for that sort Of thing and
for another the company is not after
anything.

BUYS CHICAGO PLANT
T. B. Jeffery Company Buys Plant
Formerly Owned BY It in Chicago
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
The receivers Of the Pope Manufact-
uring Company, George A. Yule of this
city and Col. Albert Pope of Hartford,
Conn, in session in Chicago this morn
ing closed a deal this morning for the
sale Of the old Rambler plant in Chica-
go to Thomas B. Jeffrey Company Of
Kenosna. The plant was sold to net
the receivers of the Pope Company
100000. The building is located at the
corner Of North Franklin and Institute
place and is one of the famous old
bicycle making plants of the country.
It was formerly operated by the Pope
Company as bicycle factory but with
the appointment of receivers it was one
Of the first plants to be offered for sale.
It is stated that the Jeffery company is
purchasing the plant as an investment
but some further statement may be
made as to the deal later. The receivers
of the company are still in session at
the First National Bank in Chicago
this afternoon and other important mat
tiers are being considered
The old Gormully and Jeffrey Com
pany operated this plant for many
years but at the time Of the formation
Of the Bicycle Trust this was one of
the plants sold to the Trust. Later is
came into the control Of the Pope Com
pany when A. G. Pope became the head
of the bicycle industry in America.

Giuseppe Polentini Must Stand Trial
for Shooting Mariana Saltemachia

Giuseppe Polentini the Italian arrest
ed last Saturday night on charge of
assault with intent to murder Mariana
Saltemachia had preliminary hearing
before Justice George B. McCarron on
Thursday afternoon and was held to the
Circuit Court for trial in bonds of a
thousand dollars. He returned to jail
but may give bonds before the end of
the day. The complaining witness Sal
temachia is also confined in the county
Jail as he was required to give bonds to
insure his appearance against the man
who is alleged to have shot him and
not being able to give bonds he went
to jail. Saltemachia is still suffering
considerably from his wounds. 1t is not
thought that there will be any effort
to arrest any other men in connection
with the case as the officials feel certain
that Polentini fred the shot which
caused the injury of Saltemachia.

The activity Of the University of
ment is an encouraging sign of the
times. This state institution of our has
recently been commended as the lead
ing American exponent of education
along practical and useful lines. The
day seems to have gone by when the
sole object of education and learning
is merely an absorption of Impractical
information ,and disciplinary grinding in
the classics. The present day ideal of
our public schools and colleges is un-
doubtedly to teach the coming men and
women how to live. Learning how to
live implies something more than the
mere requirement Of enough dollars to
pay for the necessities and luxuries of
life and when we are confronted with
the fact that $500 people die annually
in Wisconsin from tuberculosis and that
10000 are innocent sufferers from the
disease, nothing can be more important
in our educational system than spread
ing the information that tuberculosis
is an unnecessary cause of poverty, suf-
fering and death.
Every school superintendent, every
principal and every teacher down to
the lowest grades is not doing his full
duty to his high calling until he becomes
personally familiar with the readily
understood problem. Information is
very accessible and the essential prin-
ciples are readily communicated to the
youngest minds.
When the full truth that tuberculosis
is communicable, preventable and cura-
BILE is realized, then will tuberculosis be
wiped off the earth If this result be
accomplished by the time that the
school children Of today have grown to
manhood and womanhood and have
taken the control of affairs into their
hands, a wonderful achievement will
have been accomplished,

These are poor days for camping out
and the tramp room at the Jail is
crowded nightly. There is no way the
authorities can force these buns to
work for their keep and the only way
they have Of dealing with them is to
give them shelter and pass them along
to the next town. A stone pile would
do much to relieve the situation, not
that the buns would break enough stone
to pay for their keep but the news that
Kenosha had stone pile would soon
circulate and the hobos would fight shy
Of this city.

The ordinances providing salaries for
the mayor and aldermen have been
passed by the council and will go into
force at once immediately after their
publication, but there is a grave ques
ton and considerable difference of
opinion as to whether or not the men
now holding Office are entitled to draw
the pay There is no question as to the
right of the men to be elected at the
coming election to draw the salaries pro-
vided in the ordinances but there is as
to the rights of the present incumbents
of the offices and those who hold their
places over this election. From com
mon sense standpoint we should say
emphatically chat the members at pres
ent in Office had no right to draw any
money. 1t would be queer thing if
men in Office had a right to fix their
own pay at any figure they pleased and
to profit directly by their own votes.
The presidents are all against any such
methods and rightly so for it would be
a very dangerous proceeding to permit
public servants to estimate the value
of their own services and fix their own
compensation therefor. IF such a
method is good law what is to prevent
the council from setting salaries at a
regal figure of three or four thousand
dollars year and beginning to take
that amount of money from the treas
ury before the people had chance to
pass judgment upon their actions. If
any body Of men has the right to vote
it's members a small amount it has the
same right to vote larger one. How
ever unless some interested citizen
takes the matter into court and gets
out an injunction we presume that all
of the alderman will begin to draw pay
Immediately. The city attorneys inter
probation Of the law may be on their
side too for all we know but then the
law very often conflicts with common
sense.

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable

the latter to continue investigations until

Mr.. Ernst G. Timme,
Auditor for the P. 0. Department,
Treasury Department, Wash, D. G.
Mr.. Timme brought to his present po-
sition a ripe judgment and clear insight
into public affairs. His administration
has been marked by the number of i'm
provements in methods introduced.
Eevry one Of the eight divisions Of the
office has been investigated; card sys-
TENS have been substituted for volumin,
Gus records; new ledgers and registers
have been devised; improved blanks
have been introduced and old blank
forms changed to meet existing condi-
tions; the audit of postal and money
order accounts is subject to additional
reviews and checks and codes of instruc-
ton has been prepared.
In the money order branch special at
tention has been given to the manner
