The saloon men who can see further
than an inch beyond their noses are
getting uneasy as the campaign progress
ses and no wonder. Beyond question the
candidacy of Mr.. Scheley IL crystalliz-
ing the sentiment against the power of
the saloon in politics as nothing else
could and while it does not look now
as if there is any real reason for the
local saloon men to be apprehensive at
present the experience of other saloon
men in other cities where the people
have been pushed too far is enough to
set them thinking and wonder if it is a
wise move to proceed to extremes here.
Some people are wise enough to let
well enough alone while others appar-
emily go hunting for trouble.

lot clerk, who must issue another in
its stead, but not more than three in all

The more far sighted of the saloon
men are not any too well pleased at the
efforts of the brewing companies to
grasp more power in Kenosha just at
this time. They are perfectly willing
to lay low until the storm blows over
and they can see that this open de-
fiance of public sentiment by the
brewery interests at this time may be
the last straw that turns the tide
against them and that it BODIES no good
to their business. However Indifferent
ly they might have regarded it few
years ago, in view of the rapidly grow
ing public sentiment in favor of divorc-
ing the saloon from political power
which the saloon men are trying to
counteract, the candidacy of Mr.. Scho-
ley at this time must be regarded by
them as a serious mistake.

One of the things that must be decid-
ed before election day is the disposition
TO be made of challenged votes. With
The largely increased force of watchers
and challengers that will man the polls
on election day challenges are apt to
be more numerous than they have ever
been before in an election in this city
and to avoid trouble and confusion both
sides should clearly understand and
agree upon what is to be done in these
cases.

The rush for job on the paving
work Monday told more of the condl-
ton of the labor market than columns
of print 1t showed that a great many
men are now in need of work and for
that reason if for no other there should
be no unnecessary delay in closing the
contracts for al the improvements the
city is to make this summer in order
that as many as possible of the un en-
ployed can get jobs. 1t is of course
one of the conditions of every contract
entered into by the city that the con-
tractors who get the work shall employ
home labor, but in the contracts now
pending the successful bidder should
also be made to agree to start the work
at once. There is no good excuse for
any long delay and the unemployed
men will need the work more in the
early summer than they will later in the
year when the business of the factories
begins to pick up.

Notwithstanding the reports sent out
from time to time the Chicago and Mil
waukee road will be completed to Mil
.waukee and a through service inaugu-
rated just as soon as possible. Too
much money is already invested in the
road north of Racine to let it lie idle
very long when the receivers of the road
can begin to get returns on the invest
ment by putting in the comparatively
small sum of money now needed to get
the road running,

1t s unfair to criticise the district
attorney because he does not rush to
prosecute alleged repeaters and illegal
voters when he knows that he has no
evidence that will convict them. Mr..
Baker is better judge Of the law than
his critics and when he thinks that he
has a case against any criminal he is
never backward in taking it into court.
His record shows that no man is more
prompt to do his duty as he see it with
out fear or favor but it should be re-
membered that one Of his duties and
not the least important perhaps is to
stand out against costly and i'll advised
litigation which in his Judgment cannot
produce results. 1t is a new thing to
hear the district attorney blamed for
any failure to start prosecutions. Only
very recently it was just the reverse
and he was criticised for showing too
much zeal rather than for the lack Of It.

From his position as the candidate
of the party for the highest Office in
the gift of the people of Kenosha Mr.
Scholey might be supposed to embody
in his own person the highest aims and
pricinples of democracy but few
minutes conversation with almost any of
the old line leading Democrats is
enough to convince any seeker after
information that the real Democrats are
not supporting his candidacy in any con-
siderable numbers. Many of the men
who have upheld the banner Of dents"""o
racy in many hot campaign repudiate
the man and his methods in no uncer-
tain terms and decline to admit that he
represents them or their party. In fact
they are ''sore' that Mr.. Scholey
should be held up before the people as
the real representative of their party
and their language in discussing the
situation would be provocative of a
breach of the peace were any one dis
posed to argue the question of his fit
ness to pose as the whole thing in
democratic politics with them. Beyond
question the men who have been re
sponsible for large measure of demo
cratic success in the past are not nov
with Mr.. scholey. They decline EN-
phatically to take any share of the re
sponsibility for his candidacy and they
make no pretense Of concealing thu
stand they have taken in the matter
They are not to blame for the presen
situation and they say SO without an.
reservations.

The Republicans will have to get busy
and keep busy right up to the evening
of election day to win. A glance at
the returns from the primaries will
show something Of the lead that must
be overcome, but it is hardly probable
that with proper supervision of the vote
on election day the totals will run
into such high figures as at the pri-
maries.

Gently annexed is added to the city
