Amid the fields of corn;
Into her eyes he'd deeply gaze
With looks sad and forlorn.
He wanted her to be his own,
To his dark life lend cheer;
But bashful, could not make 1t known,
He feared the ears of corn would hear

And Now the coo,ns Dove.


Is nothing secure against science?
Professor Wallace Craig, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, has summoned to
the bar the gentle dove. He has
framed an indictment of four counts.
1. Doves are not coy. There is not an
element CT coyness in their makeup.
.. AS wives their conduct leaves much
to be desired. Desertions are frequent.
3. The female dove is inclined to
shrewishness. 4. Sometimes the male
dove is domestic tyrant.
Gone are the poets dreams. THE
tender fierceness of the dove" as By
ron puts it, has become paradox.
Sweet is every sound,"- says Tenny
son, and he includes the moan of
doves in immemorial elms." This as
interpreted by Professor Craig prob
ably means that madam dove is siren

not to have been proof against the per-

pretty face. and when toll was demand

Men and Women as Friends.


Men prefer men to women for friends
because between them there is sense
of equality that is absent from all
their relations with the opposite sex
Men, moreover, disliking the way
women treat women, confide in each
ether With knowledge that their conf
dence is more likely to be respected
than when they intrust their secrets to
woman.
The sense of honor among men, tllefr
antipathy to fidgets and agitation about
tribes. provide a larger stock of the
raw material for friendship between
men than that with which nature has
provided the opposite sex.

NO CHOICE AS YET.
kenosha Attorneys Have Settled
on no Candidate for Justice
of the Supreme Court
THREE CANDIDATES IN FIELD

Petitions are being circulated in
Kenosha and Kenosha county for the
various candidates for the Office of JUS
tice of the Supreme Court to succeed
the Hon. r. NJ Bashford who was re-
Gently appointed by Governor Davidson
to succeed the late Justice John B.
Cassoday, but as yet the bar Of Kenosha
has not united in their support Of any
one man and the attorneys are with
holding their signatures from the petit
tions until such an agreement can be
reached. At the opening Of the cam
paign it was thought that Justice Bash
ford would get the majority of the sup
port from this county but it is evident
that the sentiment is now divided
Justice Bashford has many friends in
Kenosha and some Of these signed
petition asking for his appointment to
fill the vacancy, but in the past few
days John Barnes, former head of the
State Railway Commission has come out
as candidate for the office and petit
tions have also been received here for
the nomination OF Attorney William
Ruger of GAINESVILLE. It is just possible
that there will be several other candi-
dates in the field before the time for
fling petitions closes.
The election will be held in connec-
ton with the City election next April
and while the little ballot is never
popular one at a city election it is ex-
'pected that the voters of the city will
take considerable interest in the cleo
ton Of Justice Of the Supreme Court.
1t is probable that before the date set
for the election the attorneys of the
city will hold a meeting and make some
statement as to their preference for the
Office.
Attorney Ruger the latest man in the
field it is expected will have large sup
port in the First Congressional District
as he is widely known among the at
torneys Of the District.

Voters Of City. Anxious To See
New List Of Poll Lists Made
Before City Election
OLD LISTS OMIT MANY NAMES
Voters Insist That Registration Would
Give Them a Chance to Investi-
.@ IS
a gate the Qualifications of
~ New Voters

Some Of the voters in Kenosha are
very DESTROYS of having a registration
Of electors this year and while the cost
of registration will be considerable it
is evident that new list of voters is
badly needed. Most Of the voters do
not understand that 81 vote at the pri-
mary election is equivalent to registra-
ton and this fact should be generally
known to all voters Under the new
election laws the primary election is
set as one Of the days for registration
and in this way the cost Of the annual
registration of voters is greatly reduced
as the officials of the various wards
would be forced to be at the voting
places to take care Of the primary cleo
ton and it would be just as we'll to have
them take charge of a new registration
at the same time. The politicians who
are accustomed to vote all sorts of
foreigners without any too close an ex-
animation into their residence and quail
ifcations as electors are of course not
! in favor of a registration. When the
registration is made III keeping with
the law the members of the various
parties are given chance to look into
the qualifications of these men who are
placed on the election lists and in this
way it is possible to disco YER the illegal
voters before they cast their ballots on
election day. Under the plan of no
registration the "foater0 is taken to
the polls and voted and after the cleo
ton is over there is no one to take
sufficient interest to look into the quail
6cations of these men and see to prose-
cute them for illegal voting.
In addition to this is the fact that
there are many men in the city who
have come to Kenosha since the last
registration was held and these men
are a little slow to demand their rights
Of suffrage when they are forced to
swear in their votes, These men are
entitled to the right of suffrage in the
city but they will not 60 to the trouble
to assert this right if they are forced to
appear in a notary IS Office and make af
Gdavit to their residence before going
to the voting booth
Under the laws Of the state it is
necessary to hold a registration before
each general election.
! Of course it will be necessary to hold
a registration Of electors before the gen
eral election next fall and this will give
the opposition to the registration at
this time a seemingly valid excuse for
voting against a registration at this
time. The members of the council how
ever may insist on registration for
the spring election

JONES Low ON ALL
Racine Contractor Has Low Figure
On the Paving of all Streets

The assistants at the office of the
City Engineer S Office have completed
the work Of figuring out the bids for
the new paving contract and it is re-
ported that John O.. Jones of Racine
is the low bidder for the work on all Of
the streets to be paved. The bid of
Jones for the whole job is $51, 844.65
and the next low bid is that of Edward
Harding of Racine $53,487.74 It is
stated that both of these bids are above
the estimate. The estimate for the
total cost Of the work was little over
$4,000 but this included the amount to
be done by the Kenosha Electric Rail
way Company which will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. This is not
included in the figures presented to the
street assessment committee on Friday.
The bids are less than a thousand dol
lars above the estimate of the Engineer.

Frothing at the mouth, mad dog
last Thursday afternoon made things

A report on "The unsupported, but
Dangerously Tuberculous Cow by DIR.
E. G. Schroeder, issued a short time ago
by the agricultural department of the
United States, contains conclusions
which it would be well for everyone to
know He says:
Among tuberculous dairy COWS that
retain the appearance of health and
are not known to be affected until they
are tested with tuberculin, 40 per cent
or more actively expel tubercle bacilli
from their bodies in way dangerous
to the health Of other animals and per-
sons.
This investigator points out that
" the danger from the presence of tub
erculosis among dairy COWS is not con
fined to the use Of milk as a bever-
age The bacili enter all articles Of
food in which that product is used as
an ingredient, and are especially num-
erous in butter, Fin which they may
remain alive seven weeks or longer
without showing diminution Of virul-
ence. y
This fact alone would appear to JUS
tify action by the legislature along the
line suggested, for it is seen that no
local regulations applying to milk sold
for direct consumption offer protection
from the dangers contained in articles
made elsewhere containing milk which
has not been subjected to test.
Wisconsin is well to the fore in the
fight on tuberculosis, and the campaign
is being waged intelligently on the
principle that it must be stamped out
by prevention rather than by cure. The
causes of it's spread must be mini
mized. Even here, where the climatic
conditions are more favorable than in
many sections the public would probab-
ly be appalled, by knowledge Of the ex-
tent Of the faint It's prevalence is
due to the various sources Of contamina-
ton, and conspicuous among them is
undoubtedly the use of infected milk.
In recent years numerous laws have
been passed tending to reduce contami-
nation from persons, but the evil will
not be eradicated until effective at
tack is made upon the chief sources
of it's origin among human beings If
a way can be found by the state prac-
tically to provide for and enforce this
kind Of test it would go far toward
accomplishing that result.-Milwaukee

All true reform comes from Within
and some Of the liquor men who are
spending big money to put their bust
ness in the most favorable light before
the public may only learn this great
truth wher it is everlastingly too late.
The best. evidence of their sincerity and
their desire to play fair with the peo
pie would be the closing of some Of the
dumps that only exist by their suf-
ferance and financial support Take
our own city for example. The closing
of one third of the saloons would do
away with nine tenths of the troubles of
the police and the saloons that make
the troubles are in most cases the ones
that the breWeries pay the license
money for. The men who run the
worst places are apt to be practically
the agents Of the breweries with at
most hundred or so dollars invested
in the business and everything mort
gagged up to the hilt to the men whose
beer they sell and these owners by the
courtesy of the brewers must do any
thing and everything TO get enough to
keep up with their payments to the
breweries or out they go and some other
men with little money take their
places.

Rights of Insurance Company to Have
II Further Tests Under Wisconsin Laws
That there will be test of the Wis
consin penalty law which provides for
heavy forfeitures for failure to comply.
with the Wisconsin insurance statutes
now seems certain.
Although the reports which the state
insurance department has demanded
from both the companies remaining in
the state and those withdrawing are not
due until March /, correspondence be-
tween some of the large withdrawing;
companies and the state insurance de
partment shows very plainly that some
of the companies are not intending to
comply with all the demands of the law
as regards their reports.
When the time for the filing Of the re-
ports has expired the insurance com
missioner will at once transmit list
Of the companies which have failed to-
comply with the law to the attorney
general, who will begin the actions to
recover the penalties. 4
These suits will be watched with
great interest all over the union, as the
insurance companies will undoubtedly
raise questions involving the federal
constitution in their defense and the de-
cisions in the case will 60 a long way

have in the control Of insurance com

company Of New Jersey, together with

whether or no the Aldrich bill is just
what is best for the country. Certainly
some of the methods that are being used
to urge this bill on the country are not
such as would wholly recommend it to
thoughtful people and it does seem as
if measure could be drawn upon which
more of the leading financial experts
