While we should like to see another
registration Of the qualified voters Of
the city and complete and accurate
polling lists made for every ward per-
haps it is just as well not to go to the
expense of making these lists at this
time. The city has no money to throw
away and the campaign this year prom
Uses to be such hard fought one that
there will not be much chance for any
great amount Of illegal voting in city
Of this size where almost all Of the
voters are known to the campaign man
ayers of all the parties. A registration
will have to be made before the national
election in the fall anyway and from all
present indications the managers for
the rival candidates will be interested
enough in the election this spring to
watch the voting very carefully and to
stop any attempts at repeating that
may be made. For the first time in
some years the returns Of the next
election promise to show pretty accur-
ately the real strength of the parties
for the new naturalization law has put
stop to the practice formerly the chief
standby of the corrupt politicians Of
taking out first papers for hordes of
foreigners and voting them in blocks
to defeat the will of the taxpayers In
the old days the naturalization Of this
foreign element made the result of an
election in Kenosha depend very large
ly on the financial ability and the will
ingness Of the candidates to Fput up'
for this sort Of campaigning. Fortu
nately those days of wholesale c0rrup-
ton are gone by and the prospects for
the next election being decided by the
voters who have a stake in the welfare
of the city and knowledge Of it's
needs were never brighter.

FRIENDLY TO FROST
Milwaukee Aldermen Pass Reso.
luton of Confidence in Presi.
dent Of Electric Ry. Co.
FROST GIVES ASSURANCE
(From Fridays Daily.)

Resolutions of confidence in President
A. G. Frost of the Chicago and MilWau
kee Electric Railway were adopted last
night by the Milwaukee city council by
unanimous vote. The resolutions carry
also the good will Of the city toward
the enterprise. They were drawn and
introduced by Alderman Henry Smith,
who is extremely cautious about the
granting of privileges to public service
corporations The resolutions follows:
Resolved, That the common council OF
the city Of Milwaukee regrets the
trouble which, from the public prints,
appears to have come to the Chicago
& Milwaukee Electric Railway Company
and it's connections. We have viewed
the incoming of this line to our city as
a distinct benefit to the city, and ex
press our hope and confidence, that the
line will still be constructed and an
entrance made into our city according
to the original plans and purposes.
Resolved, That so far as we know, the
whole city Of Milwaukee bears good
will to this enterprise and it's manage
ment, and is ready to welcome it's in
coming at the early date promised.
Last night Alderman Henry Smith
Of the Milwaukee Council received from
President Frost the following letter
acknowledging the receipt of the resolu-
tionS.
Henry Smith, Milwaukee, Wis.-My
Dear Mr.. Smith; My attention was
called to the resolution which you in
troduced in the common council yester-
day, expressing regret at the company s
recent difficulty, and hope and confi-
dence that the line will be completed
to Milwaukee, also expressing the city s
good will toward this company and it's
management-and take this first oppor-
tunity Of expressing to you and to the
common council by great appreciation.
In the battle of life one has to con-
tend with many adverse conditions, and
L have had more than my share during
the last month, and what has hurt me
most is the unjustifed attacks which
nave been made upon my lntegrlty-bu but
| have implicit faith that time will fully
yindicate me.
The faith and confidence which my
friends and the public have shown in
me has been my greatest fortitude and
comfort, and has inspired me with great
er determination than ever before to
complete the DrOnartv on tho lines +ba+
/ had planned it.
1t has been my ambition to construct
and operate between Chicago and Mil
Waukee the best electric railroad
IN America, and when completed next
spring my judgment in planning and
building the road as it has been will be
confirmed. With kind regards, very
truly yours,
A. G. FROST,
President

All Of the walks in the city were
covered with ice today and reports Of
accidents were numerous. It was ex-
tremely hazardous to attempt to walk
on the CLASSY ice and many bad falls
resulted in some cases in serious in
juries for which fortunately the city
can in no way be held responsible. The
walks that had been the best cleaned
were in the most dangerous condition
and any one who attempted to move
around over them did so at his own
risk.

The republican who is too lazy or too
Indifferent to attend the mass meetings
being held to frame a platform and to
discuss the qualifications and available
ty of the different candidates is estopped
from criticising the work of the men
who take enough interest in the party
to turn out and help the good work
along. The men who carry on the work
of organization are doing the best they
can but they do not think themselves
infallible and they are more than will
ing to have any man who thinks he can
improve on their methods take hold and
try but the man who is not willing to
do anything himself has no right to
criticise the work of others.

In a municipal campaign the fight
is generally made on the head Of the
ticket but the really important Offices
are those of alderman, school commits
sioner, and supervisor The best of
mayors can accomplish little or nothing
without good men to back him up on
the different boards and conversely a
bad mayor can do little harm without
the help Of the lower officials. The
voters of any ward will do more for
the city and for themselves by looking
closely after their own ward officials
than by making big fight on the head
of the ticket and this applies with equal
force to the voters of all parties.

A visit to a session of the council
is both interesting and instructive and
more of our citizens should take a
night off and attend one. They might
learn something to their own advantage
by so doing and it would certainly
raise the tone Of the meetings and
lead to the transaction of much more
business to have a large audience Of
taxpayers present at every meeting Of
the council The taxpayers pay for
the show and they have the privilege
of attending it.

COLLISION ON ELECTRIC ROAD
Two Cars Crash Together North of Keno
sha on Wednesday and MOtorman Injured


There was a collision Of two cars on
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Road between Racine and Kenosha on
Wednesday which resulted in the cars
being badly damaged and Motorman
Brown in charge of the passenger car
being slightly injured.
The collision resulted from mis-
understanding of orders and two cars
which were being used as snow plows
ran into passenger car. Brown had
reversed his brakes and in this way
averted more serious accident. The
injured motorman was taken to High
wood and cared for at the offices of the
company. He was not seriously iniur-
ed. The other motorman saved himself
from injury by jumping from his car.

The sewerage engineering problems
with which Kenosha has been burdened
by the order of the State Board Of
Health which requires the city to purge
the river of filth, are similar to the
problems which Milwaukee discussed
before the flushing systems we're in
stalled. These are doing their work ad-
mirably, so far as local conditions are
concerned, but they are carrying out
into Lake Michigan daily tons Of filth
which drifts southwark with the cur
rent which runs in that direction along
the west shore. Kenosha s sewage
would start Chicago when pumped
into the lake, and cause the people who
take drinking water from the lake to
ponder the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing
the practice. Flushing is only make
shift, at best, and eventually all cities
on the banks of lakes and streams will
have to install sewage disposal systems
in order to safeguard the drinking

A proposition is now before the coun-
Gil to run another sewer into Jerome
Creek and permission to do so will
probably be granted as it is manifestly
unfair to discriminate against any par

50 much sewerage is already being run
into that outlet. 1t is d very unsani-
tary arrangement however and every
body knows it, but it will not be long
before this evil brings about it's remedy

of his recent speeches show him to

and that he can beat Taft. That

Gratis to regard Governor Johnson in

any one other thing. know that the
Republican leaders here regard with
utmost complacency the nomination
of Bryan and are confident they can
beat him. but they shake their heads
when the possibility of the nomina-
tion Of Governor johnson is men,
toned and even the most conserva-
tive Of them admit that they think
they would have hard time elect
ing Taft II the Democrats should
nominate Johnson. There Is no
doubt that the South can nominate
either Bryan or Johnson and the
South just now, at least the South
ern leaders here. are beginning to see
victory, If no mistakes are made at
Denver, and therefore. are advocat-
ing that their states send uninstruct-
ed delegations. They at least want
to talk the matter over with all the
leaders of the party. If they see vic
tory with Governor Johnson at the
head of the ticket they want the op-
portunity to vote for him and not
be tied up hard and fast to any man
in advance. These are the absolute
facts of the situation here reardless
OF what any Individual thinks OF
Mr.. Bryan or any other candidate.

Things Political

There may be some doubt about
how great the revolt of Labor will
be against tSeGretary Taft but
that Wall Street interests will
warmly support him with its
money and votes seems certain,
That representative Wall Street
banker, Jacob IL. Schiff, the part
MIR of that "malefactor of great
wealth" Mr.. Hartman has accept
ed the Vice Presidency of the Taft
Organization of the State of New
York. He declares "that with a
rigid insistenoe for due and proper
regard of the law, all classes Of
our citizens will, with Mr.. Taft as
President, become readily convinced
that every legitimate interest will
be safe in the hands of their Chief
Executive"
From this we may assume that
Mr.. Taft will receive the united
support of the Wall Street influence
and that bankers and railroad
managers will vie with each other
in filling the "dough-bags" of the
Republican party. The malefactors
OF great wealth have evidently, as
Mr.. Schiff says. Become readily
c1avlnced' that they will be
safe" in the hands of Taft.

With shouts of victory they fell.
