rur DANGER OF SOCIALISM

s'The one danger that most business
men view with horror is socialism, the
idol that has wrecked one republic az
ter another, and that cfouches today
like an incubus upon the neck OF Aus
tralia. The strongest argument for gov
eminent ownership, the argument of de-
spair, is that state ownership is the
only relief from graft. The man who
il doing more for socialism, commun-
ism and anarchy today than any other
is the highly respectable business man
who for any reason buys legislation.
Graft could never exist but for the
man behind the CRATER.
''The state owes consideration to the
business man. The ness man in
turn owes an imperative duty to the
state. Legislation is the business OF
the state. Citizenship is the business
of the people. One is the complement
of the other, and only on their com
bined strength can arise that ideal
commonwealth in which obedience to
the law is liberty "-Governor Guild
of Massachusetts,.

U. S. Government Asks Local
Contractors To Put in Bids
on Proposed Building
WILL START WORK THIS FALL
BIDS Are to be Opened Sept. 10 and
Contracts Will be Let AS Soon,
AS Possible After that Time
Plans Coming Soon

Kenosha's long sought public build
ing is to be reality as Postmaster
Maloney this morning received a letter
from the supervising architect of the
government directing him to advertise
for bids for the, construction of the
building and advising him that the sets
of the plans and specifications for the
building will be on file in his office
on Thursday or Friday and that they
will be there for the use of local con-
tractors in making bids on the build
Jig. 1t is understood that foreign con-
tractors VIII also be permitted to make
bids and that there will be no dis
tinction made in the consideration of
the bids. The bidders will be given
more information in regard to the con-
tract by blanks which will accompany
the six sets Of specifications sent to the
local office. The formal advertisement
for bids for the construction of the
building will be found in another
column of the paper today.
The bidders will Of course be called
upon to furnish suitable bonds to Sc
cure the carrying out of the contract
About 100000 of the appropriation
made for the Kenosha site and build
| ing remains unexpended and while a
movement was started some time ago to
have the appropriation increased there
is no reason to believe that such action
Will be taken by Congress. It is claim
eu that the supervising architect will
let the contract just as soon as the
bids are opened if they are within the
amount of the appropriation and if
this is done it will be possible to get
the foundations Of the building in be-
fore the last of this year.
1t is generally believed that the Ke-
nosha contractors will all make bid
on the construction of the building and
every possible effort will be made to,
have the work kept in Kenosha not
only to secure the employment of many
Kenosha builders during the winter but
to secure the completion of the build
ing at tie earliest possible minute. It
has been the experience of other cities
that when contracts have been let to
foreign contractors the work has been
dragged along for years.
The building will of course be bulls
under the direct supervision Of the SUI
pe1siying architect s office and to this
end a supervisor of the work will be
sent out from Washington.
A more detailed consideration of the
plans and specifications for the new
building will be made public just as
soon as the plans are received by Post
master Maloney.
The city has made an effort to have
the walks laid about the government
lot, but letter to the clerk informs
the city that this work will not be
done until after the building has been
erected. The government suggests mod
estly that it has no objection to the
walks being built by the city.

ting the water turned on and notwith-
standing the fact that Waukegan FIRE

the Kenosha boys had no trouble de-
feating them in the preliminaries and
had the three connections made and
the water turned on two seconds earlier
than the Waukegan men who were
working with hose which they were
entirely familiar. The big fight with
the water lasted only few seconds for
notwithstanding the fact that the Wau-
kegan men had hidden thmselves be-
hind a coil of hose, the Kenosha men
stormed their bastile and put them to
flight. The Kenosha men came back
carrying with them the $25 prize and
several black eyes due to- conflict with
the fierce force of the water.

fremen beaten to a standstill on every
proposition and the decision of the

kegan. There were 10000 people in at
tendance at the celebration and many

attractions it is declared that the Ke-

Sister Katharine Named as Motbes
Superior General Of the, Sis,
tiers Of St, Mary
LONG CONNECTED WITH ORDER
Mother Superior Margaret Glare and
Mother Superior Ann had De- fil1'p
clined to be Candidate
for the Office

A telegram received from Peeksville,
Sister Katharine has been elected as
Mother Superior General Of the Com
munity Of the Sisters of st. Mary to
succeed Mother Superior General Edith
who recently made her submission to
Rome at Philadelphia. The selection
OF Sister Katharine comes as complete
surprise to the members Of the com
munity in this city. Sister Florence
and the Mother Superior, who had gone
to Peezskill to attend the election, will
arrive in Kenosha tomorrow. It is
understood that Sister Margaret Glare
and Sister Ann Of Memphis, the two
ranking members Of the order, both
declined to be elected to the high Office
of Mother Superior General of the
order.
| The new Mother Superior General is
III point Of years Of service one Of the
oldest members Of the community, she
having been the tenth to make her pro-
fession in the order. She has for many
years been one Of the leading Sisters in
charge of the Community House at
Feeks1ill and her long association with
the former head of the order had kept
| her in close touch with the work Of
order in all parts Of the country. She
had been repeatedly mentioned for ele-
walton to the office of Mother General
! before the appointment of the two
Mother Superior Provincials a few
years ago.
/ One of the officials of Kemper Hall
in speaking of the election today said
"The selection of Sister Katharine as
the Mother General Superior will be
very satisfactory to all the Sisters in
the western province and throughout
the country. Sister Katharine is a
devoted Christian woman thoroughly in
sympathy with the work of the order
and with the work of the church of
which it is a part She has given the
Community of the, Sisters Of St. Mary
the work Of a life time and no one
among the number Of Sisters is more
highly honored and beloved Sister
Katharine is thoroughly protestant and
she was in no way in sympathy with
the recent action Of Mother Edith in
going to the Roman church." Sister
j Katharine, the new Mother General has
visited at Kemper Hall, but has not
been west in many years, she having
given all Of her time to the work at
the community house at Peekskill.
The arrangements for the installa-
! ton of Sister Katharine as the Mother
Superior General have not as yet been
announced at the local novitiate Of the
! order.
No word has been received from
Mother General Edith since she made
her submission to Rome and as yet she
has not been united with any of the
orders connected with the Roman
i church. It is understood, however, that
within a few days she will have com
pleted her instructions and will be as
signed to one Of the Roman orders.

AID FOR SCHOOLS
State Superintendent Cary Makes
Appointment of State Aid e =
J for Graded Schools
KEN0SHA c0UNTYGETS SHARE

State Superintendent c. P. Cary to-
day completed the annual apportion-
ment of state aid of $4,000 to the
graded schools Of the commonwealth.
About 500 of these schools, which Is
all but twenty in the state, participate
in the apportionment. Those that do
not have failed either to report to the
state or to comply with regulations re
garding equipment and Institutional
force.
The schools are divided into two
classes according to the number of de-
partments they maintain and the size
OF their Institutional force. Those Of
the first class receive in state aid $500
and those of the second class 5000.
Formerly the amount received by the
/ second class was only 800 a year. but
the last legislature increased it to 5000
The salaries and expenses of the two
state inspectors of graded schools is
deducted from the amount distributed
among these schools.
According to the apportionment made
Kenosha county has no schools which
will come in for $500 under the first
class but there are several schools that
will get the smaller amount in the
second class. Among these are District
No. 3, Bristol; Districts No. /, 10 and
Ii, Pleasant Prairie, and Districts No
and Z, Salem. Those schools which
have been found delinquent will re-
ceive their portion Of the state aid if
their reports are turned in before
September l.

Judging from the number of people
who are after the place there must be
a general belief that the new office
of building Inspector is going to be a
good job. 1t is to be hoped that the
man who gets the place will be man
in whom the people of the city can
have the utmost confidence and one
who can be depended upon to enforce
every provision of the building ordin-
ance against all alike. Every man con-
nected with the building trades knows
that building ordinance is needed but
unless the right kind Of man is put
in the Office Of inspector to see that
it is strictly enforced the ordinance
will speedily become dead timber on the
city's law books just like SO many of
the others.

The managers of the railways are
already predicting that the crop move
ment and the gradual resumption of
business in all lines will soon cause
the greatest car famine that the rail
ways and the shippers have ever had to
contend with in this country. The idle
cars are being put into service rapidly
and an order from one of the roads
for one thousand new cars for imme-
date delivery shows that railway man
ayers believe that the turn has come.
1t is estimated that there are still 200,-
600 idle cars to go into service when
the crop movement really gets under
way.

BRICK STILL MISSING
Father of Brighton Man Formally Asks
the Aid of the Sheriff to Find Him

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Joseph Brick from Silver
Lake a week ago last Friday grows
deeper as the days pass without the
relatives Of the man being able to find
any trace of him. Tuesday the father
OF the missing man formally applied to
Sheriff Charles Pfennig to aid in the
search for his son. The sheriff and his
deputies have been at work on the case
for week and yesterday a search of
the western end Of the county was
started. Absolutely no trace can be
found Of Brick and the belief that he
was murdered and robbed seemed to be
the most probable solution of the
mystery.

Used on Moving Trains

Regarding other phases Of railroad
telephone development, Mr.. Burt says:
Zone of the most novel uses the tele-
phone has been put to recently is in
the establishment Of communication be-
tween a moving train and stationary
point. Such communication, though not
often made use Of, is possible. The
system was invented by Edison and
others several years ago. 1t has proved
eminently successful. 1t is not gener-
ally used, however, because cf the
many stations along most routes. The
public is, however, coming to expect
the telephones on all trains when they
are sidetracked at stations. Most rail
roads have already installed them. In
/ Chicago I recently saw business man
hasten into a train, telephone his office
and order his grip hurried to the sta
tion. In Milwaukee many trains are
Immediately given telephone connec-
tions when they lay over for an hour
OF two. Passengers are thus in con-
4 slant communication with any city
they may desire to talk to. Thus the
railroads are making great use of the
telephone. AS far as [ know the SER
vice always has given them the greatest
! Of satisfaction.
One of the best maintained and
most elaborate private telephone sys-
tens in the city is maintained by the
street railway company. The company
is not only in direct communication
with every suburban station and fore
man on its lines, but it practically is in
constant touch with each separate car
The company also has private wires
into the homes Of its officers, emergency
men and others that may be needed in
a hurry in times of trouble.''
