the pension list, and one mule also has
been retired from active service.

berry was discovered this morning when

The Greek padrone system, which has
been at work in Milwaukee as well as
at numerous other places in the United
States, is abhorrent to American IDEAS,
and special immigration inspector
is engaged in the work of stamp
ing it out
It is officially asserted that thousands
of little Greek boys under 16 have been
brought to this country under bondage,
kept out of the public schools and fore
ed to work for masters, who have ex-
plotted their labor and grown rich at
1t, while the little fellows who do the
work have been allowed nothing but
the bare necessaries of life.
The system is contrary to law. Tt is
injurious to the imported boys and to
the free American labor which they
supplant. It is prejudicial to the social
life of America and, ultimately danger
Gus politically to certain extent, for
the victims Of the system grow
up and become American citizens
without the equipment in mental
and moral training which it is the
theory of the Republic that American
citizens should receive.
The padrone system is un-American
and vicious. The movement for it's sup
preston has the hearty sanction and
support of the people Of Milwau-
kee.-Evening Wisconsin.

Methodists Of City Give Rev. Stew
ems Unanimous Endorsement
at Close of Term
He WILL RETURN TO KENOSHA
Board of Stewards of the Church Also
Pass Resolutions Praising the
Work of Retiring Presid-
ing Elder Lean

The members Of the Board Of Stew
ards of Park avenue M. E. church paid
a splendid compliment to the loyal SER
vices of the Rev. w. W. Stevens as
pastor of Park avenue M. e. church at
the fourth quarterly conference of the
church last night when resolution was
passed by unanimous vote asking the
return of Mr.. Stevens as pastor Of the
church for another year. Mr.. Stevens
has served the church in the capacity
Of pastor for the past seven years and
during the term of his ministry the
church has greatly advanced both in
membership and in spiritual work. In
the Methodist church at the present
time there has been a movement to
discourage long pastorates, but with
the removal of the time limit the min
lister may remain at one place just as
long as his relations with the church
are of the most friendly nature. The
universal sentiment in the church in
favor of Mr.. Stevens seems to give rea-
son to believe that he will remain pastor
of the church here for many years.
Few men have been in charge Of
churches in Kenosha who have had such
a complete support of their congrega-
tions and it is declared that there is
not one member of the church who is
favorable to change in the pastor.
The annual conference will be held at
Neenah week after next and it is ex-
pected that in keeping with the wishes
Of the congregation the Rev. MI. Stew
ems will be sent back to Kenosha for
another year Of work. The resolution
in regard to Mr.. Stevens which was
passed by a unanimous vote Of the
Board of Stewards, was as follows:
Resolved, That we request the dis
trict superintendent Of the Wisconsin
conference to use his best efforts to
secure the return of The Rev. w W.
Stevens as pastor of Park avnue M.
3. church for another year.
The official Board of the church al
so took action to show their apprecia-
ton of the services of DR.. J. s. Lean
u NuIIWduhOOI WIN LIDS USSu GAC pIeSIu-
ing elder of the district for many years
and who has been very popular with
the members Of the Kenosha church.
The meeting last night was the occasion
of the last official visit of DR.. Lean
to Kenosha and the following resolution
was pass by a unanimous vote Of the
Board. Resolved, That as the mem
bers of the Quarterly conference Of
Park avenue M. E. church, we desire to
express our hearty appreciation of the
labors of the Rev. J. S. Lean, D. D., in
our behalf, during his term as presiding
elder of this district and that we tender
to him our best wishes for a happy and
successful ministry wherever his fut-
ure lot may be cast"
E. L. Grant, one of the best known
members of the Official Board, was nam
ed as the delegate to represent the
Kenosha congregation at the coming
conference at Nenah. It is expected
that many Kenosha people will attend
the sessions of the conference.
