While 1t is generally supposed that
the drink habit has been chiefly in
fiuential. in making tramps, Mr..
Towne took the position that the
causes of vagrancy are many and
complex but that the seeds of the
wander habit are usually sown dur
Ding boyhood before they become alb
dicted to intemperance. One Of these
boyhood causes, and the hardest to
eradicate, is the train-riding habit.
More detectives should be employed
along the railroad tracks to demolish
nide-stealing.
Most people look upon the vagrancy
habit in boys as not serious and as
a result much of it goes unpublished.
Yet the heads of two OF the largest
Juvenile asylums in New York as
sert that the habit is the largest ex-
listing cause of juvenile crime and
that after boys become addicted to
the habit its effects are extremely
hard to eradicate.

Only about four hundred dog licenses
have been paid into the city this year
but in the first year after the ordinance
was passed over eight hundred licenses
were collected. These figures show
that there is something radically
wrong somewhere. It is not likely that
the canine population of the city has
decreased any in the last few years
and it is evident that less than half
of the dog owners are paying their
license money into the treasury. The
fact that the majority Of the dog
owners are allowed to escape payment
of the license, is rank injustice to
those who do pay and the city had bet
ter repeal the ordinance altogether or
improve it's system Of making collec-
tions so that all will have to pay alike.
1t was understood that the police were
to assist in the collection of this tax
but if the officers were ever ordered
to go after the money, they were not
very successful in getting it.

Plan is FORGOTTEN
City Officials Doing Nothing To
Further Plans for Municipal
Lighting Plant Here
SEE CHANGE OF SENTIMENT

Pertinent questions are being pro
pounded to members of the Common
Council and other city officials in re-
gard to the plan for the municipal
lighting question in Kenosha for not
withstanding the fact that it has been
nearly a year since the people voted
in favor Of such a plan nothing has
been done to advance the proposition.
Some of the people Of the city who
have been looking into the matter and
who have formed opinions against it
are beginning to believe that the of
icials have seen the error of their ways
and have dropped the project, but the
real alive municipal ownership men
are very DESTROYS of having the matter
come up. At the time of the election
last year the mayor and his political
associates announced that they would
get busy at once but up to this time
nothing has been done and it is be-
ginning to appear as if the movement
was sidetracked or laid aside for some
more opportune time.
In the meantime the forces of the
opposition have been piling up evi
dence against the wisdom OF a munich
pal plant and they have gathered to-
gether a whole lot of evidence in re-
gard to failures Of such plants and it
is just possible that these men will
want to submit the question for an
other referendum
It is hard to tell how the members
Of the Council would look at such a
proposition.
The matter was pretty thoroughly
discussed year ago but it is certain
that the conditions that prevailed then
do not prevail now and it is just pos
sible that the opinions of the people
have changed with the conditions. IF
a light plant is to be built to take over
the contract for the city lighting, it
will have to be done soon and the men
elected for members Of the Council at
the coming election will be the men
who will have charge of the decision
in this important matter.
None of the candidates for mayor
has made any statement in regard to
the matter and the way that it has
been allowed to drop seems to indicate
that the interest in the project is dead.

The business record of 1907 was
truly remarkable. Money was dear
and credit more or less strained
throughout the year. After the
March smash in stocks gloomy views
prevailed at financial headquarters. In
October occurred one of the most VIC
lent monetary shocks the country has
ever known.
Now, commercial failures, measured
by total liabilities involved, were thrice
as great as the average OF the five
preceding years. But the difference is
almost wholly accounted for by the
embarrassment of very few big con-
Germs, having plenty of good assets,
but caught short Of ready money. The
number of concerns that failed was
only four per cent, above the average
Of the five preceding years; and of all
concerns in business, as reported by
Bradstreet IS, only seven-tenths OF one
per cent. failed-the smallest proper
ton, with the single exception of 1906,
in twenty-seven years. Actual assets
of failed concerns amounted to 1913
per cent. of total liabilities. This is
the highest proportion ever reported,
omparing with al average of little over
fifty per cent, in the five preceding
years. Already the Westinghouse com
panies-the most important commercial
failures of the year-are well on the
way to a solvent footing.
The commercial death rate was only
half that of 1893. Total liabilities of
concerns that failed, it is true, were
only ten per cent. less. But the total
! number Of concerns in business was
forty per cent. greater; and their com
bined assets must have ben at least a
hundred per cent. greater. No exact
statement on that head is possible; but
bank deposits were three hundred per
cent. greater in 1907 than in 1898.
Considering the trials Of the year,
the business of the country, we should
say, showed an inherent strength that
is encouraging Saturday Evening Post.
