The truth of the story has been fully verified, but the details have not been secured. The condition of the mother was such that it was not thought that she could survive the night, but today she is reported somewhat improved

The primary election campaign is
due to open up in full vigor next Mon
day that being the earliest possible
moment that the candidates are permit
ted to begin their labors to secure the
nominations under the law. At present
there is every indication that the cam
paign will be the liveliest that this
county has seen in some time with a
hot fight in both parties over every
Office, but when some Of the men who
are now in a receptive" mood begin
TO figure up what the contest for the
nomination alone is likely to cost them,
to say nothing of what will be expected
of them after the nomination are
made, they may decide to wait for an
other year when there will be less
competition.

CITY LOSES MONEY
Marriage Law Changes Results in
Many Dollars Not Coming
Here as in Other Years
LAW STOPS MANY MARRIAGES

That the state law requiring the space
of five days to intervene between the
granting of marriage license and the
time when the ceremony may be per
formed, has resulted in loss Of humid
reds of dollars annually to the county
and to the clergy of this city, was the
statement made today by county Of
fetal whose duty keeps him well in
formed of the number Of weddings tax
ing place in this city. Furthermore, he
declared that the reported hard times
were Immediately reflected in the num-
Der of marriages and that judging by
the first half of the year, the number
of young men daring to venture into
the matrimonial sea, would actually be
almost fifty less than last year in this
community.
While the actual purpose of the law
in insisting upon a five day lapse be-
tween the issuing Of license and the
wedding ceremony is to prevent the
number of runaway matches, elope-
is evidence Of an undue desire for
haste and to avoid the pitfalls Of mar
rying in haste and repenting at leisure,
this effect is largely lost by the lack
Of uniformity of the law in other
states. AS result, the chief effect of
the statute is the loss Of considerable
revenue to the city.
In the days before this statute was
passed, scarcely a day passed without
one or more couples from other cities
in Wisconsin, as we'll as from Wauke-
gan, Chicago, ETC., visited Kenosha, Sc
cured marriage license and were
married, combining the wedding with
q little honeymoon to this city. The
occasion, naturally being one of more
or less festivity, the happy groom
would not only leave his fee for the
minister, and for his license, but it is
said The average expenditures for a
days honeymoon in the city would be
about $25. All of this has now been
directed out Of this city's channels,
and the matrimonial tide now flows
into Illinois, where no such law is in
force. Cities OF lower Wisconsin,
closely adjoining the state line now
send a goodly average Of people into
Waukegan, Chicago and other Illinois
cities, which reap the benefit of the
marrying business.

SAVE THE SHADE TREES

The story may be believed coming
from a western city that desputs me
protests of many citizens line OF over
ifty beautiful shade trees on q street
unfortunately to be improved were
rutblessly cut down for the reason they
stood six inches outside the charmed
line drawn by the city engineers from
the sidewalk line.
A small change of six inches in the
width of the sidewalk would have given
the sacred grade a bad fit, but, then
for a couple Of blocks or so people
would have been Mortified by the know
ledge, although they themselves would
not recognize it, that the sidewalk was
six inches wider At least this was the
natural supposition of the engineers ana
contractors who assumed it for grant
ed and assuming this, assumed to them
selves that they would not plead guilty
to the charge Of protecting the natural
beauty Of the landscape by the expedi-
emit of sacrificing their professionalism
by permitting for few hundred feet
the walk to be six inches broader than
the rest.
1t could have been framed up to the
engineers by first class city citizen
vigilance identifying committee, or per
haps better, to the city council, who are
more subject to the whims Of popular
favor, that the saving of these fifty or
80 shade trees full grown was worth the
sacrifice Of the city possessing one side
walk of few blocks with variation
of half a foot from others, and as it is
only the citizens and few property
owners, men who would have to endure
this great awfulness, what possible diff
ference would it make to the city au-
thorities and the grade gods as repre-
scented and worshipped by the engineers
But every city has witnessed these
mutilations, and in common with others
Racine has suffered. But nothing IS
ever done or ever will be done. There
is no responsibility whatever to public
sentiment and to be sOrrOwfully admit
ted, while public sentiment living close
" to the afflicted portions feel keenly,
the others refuse to become interested.
Therefore it is city councils, boards Of
city Improvement and engineers don't
care a continental. To indignant citi-
gems it is "well, what are you going to
do about it.
Possibly there have been instances of
where some public improvement board
have consented to fracture the grade god
to save something beautiful to the peo-
pie; possibly a few instances of engi-
neers asserting to sacrifice few inches
to permit some natural scenic feature to
exist, and what is more beautiful than
full grown shade trees and natural
curves. For there right in the capitol Of
the United States, city Of which con-
gress has exclusive Jurisdiction, over all
except the engineers, a large number Of
beautiful shade trees are to be destroy
ed because in the way of the desired To-
cation of some public monument. Con-
gress in such case might possibly in
fiuence the stubborn engineers, but it is
too busy making politics to do anything
80 useful as that.
It takes time to grow shade trees, but
1t doesn It take a moment of time on the
part of improving board and engineers
to decide to destroy them for wanton
sacrifice to the grade gods.-Racine

1t is said that the board of water
commissioners has practically decided
not to build any new intake this sum-
mer and that none is to be built until
the water company has the money in
hand to pay for it. It is well for the
water company to be self supporting
but the commissioners are taking a
good many chances in postponing the
building of the intake for all that. It
| is true that the Chicago chemists re-
ported once that the sample of water
submitted to them was good water but
there can be no doubt but that the
water has been badly polluted in times
past and may be again any day. Every
physician in the city ascribes the prevail
ence of intestinal diseases to the state
of the drinking water and it is pretty
serious thing to take chances with the
public health.

take advantage of this food supply
right at their doors and in these hard

hundreds of people every spring to cut

Another way of teaching history
which the schools might adopt has ap-
parently not yet appealed to them. A
good newspaper, if the teacher knows
how to interpret it's daily record, may
stimulate an interest in history even
more than the formal history itself. If
the pupil can be taught the continuity
and relation Of events, an awakened in
terest in daily happenings will arouse
q desire to trace them back through
Proceedings stages, Tt is the break in
continuity between the past and the i'm
mediate present that deadens enthusi-
asm. By studying history backward
from the immediate present this chasm
would be bridged and the passion for
tracing effect to cause stimulated. The

Here is some sound advice on "Bath-
ing Places" from the Chicago Tribune
that applies so well to local conditions
that it might have been written for
this city. It says:
The occasional drowning of boys in
ponds emphasizes the need of bathing
places where the pleasures of the water
may be enjoyed under supervision and
with safety The smaller children
should have a chance to wade or play
with their little boats as all small
children love to do. With an extend
ed frontage upon splendid inland sea,
the city affords few opportunities for
this type OF recreation. That such a
condition of things is all wrong needs
no argument
An abandoned quarry hole or pond
made by the accumulated water in some
depression will attract the boys of a
ineighborhood if no other facilities fol-
water sport are available. Remote and
ungnarded, these accidental swim
ming holes' furnish constant tempta
ton without any of the safeguards
which are present in parks or on bath
ing beaches.
The coming of the warm days makes
this an annual problem. As the pop
ulation of the city increases it will bt
more and more important Any con
sideration of the use of the lake front
for the benefit of the people must take
this matter into account There
should be abundant bathing facilities
where nature itself has been generous

the first hint of any kind of crookedness
