The, long stretch of beach east of
the golf grounds is an ideal place for
target practice and there could be little
objection to the rifemep using it for
that purpose if all of them used ordi-
nary caution in directing their fire, but
they do not, especially on Sunday when
there. are picnic parties and bathers
all along the beach. Unless the rife
men are more careful measures will
haverto be taken to stop the shooting.
There have been. some narrow escapes
on the golf links and a number of PEG
pie have been in range of the bullets
who had no idea that they were in
any danger. The trouble with some of
the rifemen is that they do not realize
what a range their weapons have or
how far from it's aim a bullet may be
detected by striking stones and they
endanger the lives of people who are
out Of sight and hearing. None Of the
rifen1en would Willfully take chances
on hitting any one, but some one is
going to be hit just the same pretty

would be good move for the gun club
to take this matter up and put up some
targets at different ranges for the use
OF the shooters who do not belong tc
their organization. The rifemen could
then be expected to use these targets
and the great majority of them would
gladly do so. With some regular range
it would be easy enough to spot the
careless ones who are shooting in all
directions and if they persisted in en-
dangering others the next thing to dc
will be to put a stop to the Shooting
altogether

F0R. PARDON
Con McKune Again Urging That
{, Some Action Be. Taken To
ag 80
{ Give Him His Liberty il
FAVORED BY PRISON OFFICERS

The effort to secure the release of
Con McKune, formerly Of Kenosha,
serving thirteen years sentence at
Waupun, is to be taken up with renew
ed vigor. Sheriff Roberts of Racine
County says, that the penitentiary Of
ficials and others interested in the case
believe that McKune has paid the pen
atty for his .offense, and quotes one of
the chief officials as saying that every
day he is kept imprisoned in the future
is rank miscarriage of justice.
McKune was sentenced about three
years ago for firing revolver at Miss
Dorothy Nelson, then in the employ Of
his father in Racine.
McKnne claims that at the time
of. his, arrest, letters were taken
from his pocket by Chief of Police
Fred Pfster of Racine, which were
not introduced at the trial and
which would have furnished a partial
motive for the shooting. knowledge
of these letters is said to be in
the possession Of Detective Charles
Christianson, and McKune believes that
if they were produced, it would in
fuence the pardon board to grant him
his liberty.
The girl he shot at, who has since
married, is very much against McKune
being given his liberty, however, as is
Attorney Elmer Cuttings Of Racine, who
was district attorney at the time Of
his conviction. Mr.. Cuttings declares he
has never been able to find the letters
referred to by -McKune, nor has he ever
seen any reason. nor evidence why the
man should be released in less than
his full term in the penitentiary.
Detective Christensen stated yester-
day that he had no personal knowledge
of the letters referred to by McKune,
although expressing his willingness for
the man s release.
Sergeant Claus Harms of the Racine
force stated that there were two letters
taken from MeKune at the time of his
arrest, anda which at McKune's own
request were taken by Chief Of Police
Pfster and guarded sacredly. Some.
time after the conviction of McKune
lit was said that Mrs. Nelson, mother
Of the girl and others had visited the
chief and urged that they be given the
letters Chief Pfster refused however,
and did not even make their contents
known to those about the police Office.
When Pfster, died, an effort was made
to find these letters and a minute
search made put without avail. It is
now believed that Mr.. Pfster believing
that no good could come from the let
tiers destroyed them before his DEP TT
ure for Colorado Springs, before his
death. !, St

1mnnrtant. Trademark Decision

A trade mark decision recently hand
ed down by Judge Robb Of the court
Of appeals Of the District Of Columbia
has been interpreted as menace to
trade marks that will compel owners
to hereafter practice honesty in manu-
facture. A trade mark in litigation
had been used with a label bearing the
statement that the liquor to which the
label was applied was tpure whiskey,
whereas analysis had shown that the
so-called whisky was a compound Of rye.
whisky, bourbon whisky, neutral spirits,
prune juice, and other ingredients. The
decision of the court is that trade
mark which is not in itself deceptive
cannot be recognized as the subject
Of property right if it is used in con
nection with label cont aiming decep-s
tive statements as to the character
Of the goods.
The Importance of this decision lies
in the fact that it establishes a rule
under which no owner Of trade mark
can safely bring suit to enforce his
claim Of ownership of such property if
he has used the trade mark in connec-
ton with a label which contains de-
ceptive statements. If it be proved
that the labels are deceptive no redress
can be secured against other manu-
facturers who surreptitiously use the
trade mark.
Many trade marks have been made
extremely valuable by liberal advertis-
ing at great cost. Enterprise in thus
creating a valuable brand has been
justified by the protection afforded to
holders of patents and suits for IN
fringement have. been successful where
ever the ownership Of a copyright
could be clearly established. But there
will be crash Of values of this kind if
the decision of the court of appeals Of
the District of Columbia is permitted
to. stand unchallenged, because where
ever it can be shown that trade marks
have been used with deceptive labels
they can be appropriated by every
body as common property.
= The owners of trade marks will
therefore have to be truthful in regard
ito: the goods they offer under them,
and as this will conduce to better
observance of the pure food laws, the
decision under comment has the appear
ance of good thing, from the stand
point of the consumer Wis
consin.

WANTS sANER FOURTH
State Fire Marshal Purten Issues Warn
ing Regarding National Celebration

State Fire Marshal Purtell today Is
sued the following statement regarding
the& Fourth Of July celebrations:
t'The insane celebration of the
Fourth of July under the guise Of
patriotism, should receive careful
thought and attention from those in
authority throughout the state. The
annual loss attendant upon our celebra-
ton of the Fourth, amounts to millions
of dollars, in direct and indirect loss,
making it a day to be DREADED by all.
AS rule, those who celebrate with
the most noise, are the ones who do rot
feel any great degree Of patriotisnh
The city and village authorities
throughout the state could do much
toward the reduction of property loss
from this source by giving the matter
some attention and consideration before
hand. -
GA careful clearing up of rubbish
and waste material, together with re-
stricted use of fireworks and dangerous
explosives, would result in material
Fbeneft. It is really money burned up
in dangerous and useless explosives,
serving no better purpose than leaving
the public headache the morning af-
ter. It is time to consider how our
annual worship of the god of noise is
to be abolished as each year brings an
increased loss of death as well as Of
property. 95h "'@f2 91 =

cannon cracker, which contains dyna-

The new order Of the railway com

cash fare collected on trains may be
useful as tending to convince all rail
road commissioners that it is the in
tention of the roads to return the full
est possible reports of all the business
done, but that is about as far as its
usefulness goes. The totals Of the
gross receipts are not likely to be much
increased as a result of the order.

tickets before venturing on the trains
