RESENT THE ATTACK
Hebrews Object 10 Attorneys
 Calling Them Names.
Waterbury, Feb 15, 1903.


 Editor Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: Will you kindly allow me a small space in your valuable paper in which to make comment upon the way in which our learned friend, Attorney James E. Russell, attacked the Hebrew race in general in the superior court last Thursday. In summing up his case he said, Tn part: Your honor, you do not know these people. They are race who will stoop to anything to gaiD possession of the almighty dollar" :" He then went on calling all Hebrews ! ill general liars and thieves, and at tackled them in such slanderous man per that it has aroused them to a high pitch of excitement.
 I do not think the Hebrews or Waterbury deserve this attack, espe- cially by MT Russell, who through them has gained position, wealth and prestage.
 The Hebrews of Waterbury are a persevering class of people-honest, industrious and good citizens. and strongly protest against the words ot MT Russell.
 Very respectfully,
 MAX SCHOLTER.

AN EXCITING CHASE
Man and Woman Found on Boat in
Harbor- Woman Is Arrested
But the Man Escapes


There was an exciting chase in the
neighborhood of the Kenosha Harbor
just before four o'clock this morning
when the police of the city found a
man and woman on board yacht in
the harbor. The couple were i'll com
promising situation when found and the
woman who gave her name as Mary
Beck and her home as Racine, was
captured by Police Officer Euting, but
the man escaped. The man and woman
were both in the boat when Officer
Euting and Merchant Police officer
Smith went to arrest them on serious
statutory charge. The man heard the
officers coming and managed to leap
from the boat. In the darkness Of the
early morning he avoided the efforts
of the officers to stop him and started on
a run through the lumber yards in the
neighborhood of the docks. Merchant
Police Officer Smith fired two shots at
the man, but neither Of them took eff
feet. Later other members of the force
were sent in search for the man, but
he managed to make good his escape
and no trace Of him has been found
since.
The woman was taken to the jail and
she stated that the name Of the man
was Gilbert Swanson and that he lived
in Racine. She gave the man IS address,
but the police in Racine declare that
there is no such number of the street.
Nicholas Fack, Kenosha man was
also sleeping IN the boat and he was
taken into custody, but it is not
thought that there will be any charge
placed against him.
Between her sobs the girl arrested
told the officers that she was FL years
old and that she had come to Kenosha
with the Racine man. She is thought
to be concealing the real identity of
the man.
The girl had not been arraigned at
a late hour this afternoon and the
hearing Of the charges against her may
not be taken up until tomorrow The
mother of the girl lives in Kenosha
and she may secure her release this
afternoon on bond pending the hearing.

PLAN WAR ON AUTOS
Disputes Over the Use of High
way Causes trouble for Autos

Farmers and owners Of automobiles
cannot agree on the question of equal
rights on the highways. The farmer
claims that half Of the operators Of
machines passing through the country
do not care whether they collide with
horses and carriages or crowd them into
bitches and cause accidents to occu-
pants of vehicles and that dozens of
such incidents occur every week.
On the other hand the automobile
men declare that two-thirds of the
farmers threaten them, refuse to bulge
one inch when they meet on the road
and that machines have to 90 into
bitches and holes and the farmer simply
drives on and laughs. Naturally it
will be long time before these bitter
feelings can be removed.
Both the farmer and the automobile
owners appear to forget that there IS a
law regulating the use Of automobiles
and other motor vehicles.
Below are two sections clipped from
the law and which automobile owners
and farmers should study carefully:
Section EVERY owner and operator
of an automobile or other similar motor
vehicle shall have equal rights upon all
public highways of this state with all
other users Of such highways, and no
person or persons shall unreasonably
obstruct or impede the right Of travel
of such operator or owner while operat-
ing, propelling or driving such automo-
bile or other similar motor vehicle No
person or persons shall give signal or
sign of danger or distress or call for
assistance upon person lawfully oper-
ating any such automobile or other
similar motor vehicle on a public high
way without reasonable cause for so
ooing.
Section 8-Any person or persons who
shall violate the provision of this act,
except as provided in Section Z, shall
be punished by fine Of not less than
ten dollars and not more than twenty
five dollars.

Privileged Glasses

When the Sociaistic press speaks of
the Privileged Class they invaria-
bly, mean the monied class and people
in general have the same idea. But is
this correct? Did you ever stop to
consider the idea of the privileged
class? This class is found in ali Of the
walks Of life. The privileged person,
as a rule, is the successful man in any
business, profession or sport. The
pleasures and sports Of life have their
privileged persons just as much, if not
more, than the business crowd, and in
variably there are the successful or win
ming persons in their line, they seem
to think that if they excel, they are
entitled to extra privileges. The good
dancer, be he rich or poor, lis apt to
expect the poor dancer to get out of
MS way. if not keep off the floor; the
crack golf players usually take priv
leges which are not allowed to the
dubbs," and so you have it down
through all of the sports and pleasures,
the persons who excel as a rule make
themselves part of the privileged
class" by taking privileges which they
have no right to. The privileged
Glass; i'm business or among the rich
are SO, merely because they appropri-
ate privileges which do not belong to
them. The "privileged class" is not
recognized, it is only assumed.

The agents of the state tax commits
sion who have made numerous examina-
tions of the tax rolls of this county
have repeatedly declared that Kenosha
county is a model for the other coun-
ties of the state and that it's percent
age of assessed valuation to actual
value is higher than any Of the other
counties and that the letter and spirit
of the full value assessment law has
been carried out here better than any
where else in the state. This is of
course very gratifying as far as it goes,
but all this praise does not pay any
taxes and it will be noted that the
figures on the assessed valuation Of all
the taxable property of the state as
given out by the tax commission boost
Kenosha county's assessment millions
Of dollars, a larger proportionate in
crease than that Of any Of the counties
which admittedly are assessed at a
much lower percentage than this coun-
ty. There is a screw loose somewhere
and this county is getting very much
the worst of it on the state assessment
and paying more than it's fair share
of the state taxes under the present
law. Unless there is a change for the
better all along the line Kenosha will
have to get its assessment down where
the rest are.

Complete West Main Street

It does seem as though some plan
might be figured out to complete that
West Main street paving when it only
lacks about 300 feet of completion. It
only lacks this one small block to
make good brick pavement from
Grand avenue to Prairie avenue. This
street is extensively used in coming and
going to the Northwestern station, but
it looks now as though we would have
to wade through a mud hole for an
other fall, winter and spring. Can t
you do something about this gentlemen
Of the paving committee? If the trou-
bic is with the street railway company,
couldn't the east part of this piece OF
street be paved, say as far as the
tracks, That would help considerable
as it has already been excavated and
is ready for the filing and paving.

The Council made payment on the
Durkee avenue resurfacing contract
Tuesday without a murmer There
may be a wide difference of opinion as
to the wisdom of entering into any such
contract, but that does not alter The
fact that contract regularly entered
unto by the city is valid and can be
collected in the courts if necessary so
long as the City is solvent. All the
wild talk Of "stopping" the payments
ON the Durkee avenue contract was
just igorance or cheap play to the
galleries. Very few people are taken
in by such claptrap and there are
some who are mean enough to insinu-
ate that there is more behind this kick
on the Durkee avenue job than appears
on the surface.

stealing water from the city. Take
the matter of sprinkEng. If the
water from your sprinkler hydrant does
not come through a meter you are

O'Clock in the morning and evening,
yet there are hundreds of citizens in
Kenosha who are sprinking without a
meter at any hour of the day and some
at all hours of the day and night and
the sad part of it is that they know
that they are not acting on the square

"Shall the people rule9" is declared
by the Democratic platform and can
dldate to be "the overshadowing issue
now under discussion" It is
no issue. Surely the people shall rule
surely the people have ruled; surely
the people do rule. No party rules.
The panty commissioned by the peo-
pie, is simply the instrument to exc
cute the peoples will, and from that
party winch does not obey their ex-
pressed will, or which lacks the wis
dom to lead successfully, the people
will withdraw their commission.
For half a century, with but two ex-
captions, the people have commissioned
the Republican party to administer the
national government; commissioned it
because its declared principles appealed
to their best Judgment; commissioned
it because the common sense of the
American people scented danger in
Democratic policies Ours always has
been, always must ne, a government of
tho people. That party will, after
March next, execute old laws and
enact new ones as in November it is
commissioned by the people to do
That commission will be from an I'M
trammeled American electorate. Shame
on the party which, shame on The can
didate who insults the American peo-
pie by suggestion or declaration that
majority of it's electorate is venal

ton, in casting his ballot is guided by
his best Judgment, by his desire

The coming session Of the Wisconsin
legislature will probably be so busy
fixing up the holes in the primary cleo
ton law that the members will have
hard time to get at the regulation Of
the powder mills in Kenosha county.
Notwithstanding that fact the regula-

important to the people of Kenosha
than the change of the primary so as
to make it possible for certain so-called
political leaders to remain in power.
