WILL STOP SWEARING
Bill Making Profanity in Public a
Crime Passed by Assembly

The using of profanity on the public
streets IN Wisconsin cities is to be pro-
hibited if bill passed by the legisla-
ture is signed by Gov. Davidson. Like
wise it will be unlawful for people to
use sulphurous language to the girl at
the telephone station.
The lower house of the Wisconsin
Legislature Saturday put the finishing
touches to the Hull bill, making it a
misdemeanor to swear in public The
bill as first introduced simply prohibit
ed swearing in the presence of minors
under Is years of age. When the bill
reached the senate in that form Sena-
tor Hudnall submitted an amendment
striking out the reference to age. The
| amendment was adopted and the bill
passed.
Governor Davidson would not say
| that he would sign the bill because he
had not yet examined it. He said
however, that if the body OF the bill
corresponded with its title he would
approve it. The governor is in full
sympathy with the purpose of the
measure, though at times he can use
as picturesque language as any man
who ever came out of the famous
Blackhawk Valley, where his home is.
The bill provides that any person
who shall use in the hearing of other
persons in any public place, lewd,
lascivious, obscene or profane Ian
guage shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor and shall be punished by
fine of not more than $25 or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail not to
exceed thirty days, or by both such
fine and Imprisonment.

It would work wonders in the line
of keeping all expenditures down if the
Council would adopt rule and stick
Ito it that when the revenues of the
| city are apportioned by the finance
committee of the Council, the amounts
appropriated for any department shall
be used for the purposes specified and
for nothing else and that no department
could go ahead and overdraw its ac-
count without a REIMBURSEMENT of the
appropriations all the way through.
Furthermore the rule should provide
that, should it be shown that the
finance committee had underestimate
the expenses of any department or that
unforeseen expenses had to be met and
more money must be provided, the ex-
ira money must be voted by the Coun-
ell in open meeting. Under this sys-
tenn no department could overdraw ex-
cept for what seemed to be good and
sufficient reasons to majority of the
aldermen and the general public, or at
least Che small minority which takes
enough interest in city affairs to watch
expenditures, could get some idea of
where the money of the taxpayers was
going. And when any department is
allowed to overdraw by the Council, the
Ioverdraft should be deducted pro rata
from the amounts appropriated to all
the other departments. In that way a
percentage of the money set aside for
any special purpose might eventually
be spent in the way the taxpayers be-
heved it was to be spent when it was
taken out Of their pockets. The trou-
BILE with the present methods is that
money "set asideo for any specific
purpose does not stay set aside. It is
EaH used for something else and at the
end of the year there are funds with
II large credit balances and no money to
meet them. For instance the money
to pay for the work on Market Square
was included in one tax levy, but that
money is not in the treasury now that
lit is needed and the city will have to
go into debt for this improvement that
the taxpayers have raised the money
for once. The breakwater fund show
ed aacredit balance of something like
| $4,000 at the end of the last business
year, but none of that money is in the
treasury to pay for the work that must
be done on the breakwaters this sum
mer unless the city is to pay dearly for
Ineglecting them another year. The
city will have to go ahead and make
repairs and raise the money to pay for
them later. And SO it goes. The city
has often been likened to a big cor
poration with it's officials as the man
ayers and directors and every taxpay-
er as a stockholder,> but if the business
of any corporation was managed as the
business of this city is, its managers

Alcohol and Sudden Death

We suppose it could be demonstrated
by series Of strictly scientific tests
that alcohol, particularly when taken
in excessive quantities, tends powerfully
to impair the visual qualities; after
so many ounces, tree looks like the
shadow Of passing cloud, perpendi-
cular stone wall appears to be a hori-
zontal macadam road, rock pile takes
ON the semblance of flowerbed, and
a loaded four-horse truck gives the il,
fusion Of flock Of sparrows.
It might be shown, also, that stimu-
Iants, clog and confuse the brain Is con-
troll over members Of the body. Under
theiE influence the mental impulse is
converted into action with exceeding
hardness and inaccuracy; wishing TO
remove his gloves and put them in his
pocket, a man presently takes off his
hat and sits ON it.
1t can be proved, too, that alcohol
greatly Weakens the faculty OF Judg7
ment, NO prudent person, for example,
would trust a man who had INDUCED
freely in it with bundle of matches
in o. powder factory.
We should like to see a scientific
demonstration and exposition of these
things, with accurate diagrams, per-
ce1tages and SO on.
tt might then be quite universally
recognized chat 1t is very injudicious
to ride In an automobile having the
power and speed Of a mogul engine,
when, operated by drunken man. Al
most dailgathe mortuary column of the
newspapers raises strong. presumption
to that effect; and on unscientifc
glounds it might be urged that there
are Auieter ways of committing suicide.

Public opinion is changing. The
world has its eyes opened. The war
doctrine, the preachment Of interna-
tional murder, has surfeited mankind.
The evils have multiplied until the re-
suits of war, if not the direct thought
Of war itself, have turned popular SEN
timent in the better pathway. The
rock at the base of the peace move
ment is moral. But mankind, unfort-
unately, cannot be reached as effective.
ly as should be the case on moral
foundation alone. Thus the warfare
against war is now Waged on more
utilitarian, more practical grounds.
Inc problem is treated scientifically,
economically. The appeal is to the
understanding, to the brains of man.
1t is a course of cold argument, ire
futable and ultimately convincing

1t begins to look as If cities would
not be forced to pass any laws re-
curing the telegraph and telephone
companies to put their wires under
ground for the value of the under
ground conduits for all wires is being
50 clearly demonstrated every time
there is a big storm that the com
panies are going to take action along
the line of covering their wires wher-
ever possible without waiting until
they are compelled to do so by law.
Even a moderate storm that would not
affect underground wires in the slight
est may run up a big repair bill for
the telegraph and telephone companies
and the saving on their expense ac-
counts would more than pay interest
charges on the investment needed to
bury all wires.

That the country is rapidly recover
ing from the depression which set in
about eighteen months ago is clearly
indicated by the substantial increase
reported in the imports of merchandise
at the port of New York. AS the
commodities which are brought here
from abroad are largely luxuries with
which it is not difficult to dispense,
the traffic in them Immediately reflects
the existence of conditions which com
pei or induce a reduction of personal
expenditure. Imports fall off when
times are dull because those whose I'M
comes in one way or another have been
reduced are constrained to deny them
selves the Injuries in which they form
erly INDUCED. When trade begins to
pick up these people return to their
old way Of living and the stores which
cater to their wants soon find it ex-
pedient to replenish their depleted
stock.-Philadelphia Enquirer.

In addition to the usual reminders
that this is the regular time to clean up
at may be mentioned that the coming
thirty-frst of May is going to be one
of the biggest days in the history of

Lincoln monument and every citizen
should see to it that his premises look

Rule Watch your work, not the
clock. A long days work makes a
long day short and a days short work
makes my face long.
Rule 3-Give me more than expect
and I'll pay you more than you ex-
pect. I can afford to increase your
pay if you increase my profits.
Rule 5-You owe so much to your.
self that you can It afford to owe any
body else. Keep out of debt or keep
out of my shops.
Rule 5-Dishonesty is never an acct.

can't see temptation when they meet
it.
Rule 6-Mind your own business and
in time you'll have a business of your
own to mind.
Rule 7--Don t do anything here
which hurts your self-respect. The en-
ploye who is willing to steal for me
is capable of stealing from me.
Rule Sits none of my business
what you do at night, but if dissipation
affects what you do next day and you
do half as much as I demand, you II

the progress of automobiling as an in

There IS just one way to break up
the gangs of hobos which make their
headquarters on the outskirts Of the
city every summer and that is to put
every one of them caught begging in
side the city limits to work. 1t does
little good to sentence them to terms in
the county Jail under the present con
ditions for they would just as lief live
at the Jail so long as they are fed as
anywhere else and the cost of their
keep simply increases the expenses of
the sheriff without checking the nui-
sance in the slightest. A stone pile
where the Migrants could be put at
hard labor breaking the stone would
soon convince the hobos that this is a
good city to keep away from and the
county could break even on the cost
of their keep by selling the broken
stone for road repair work. There
will be a lot of this road work this
summer and the county could find a
ready market for all the broken stone
it could furnish. The stone pile system
has worked well in other cities and
unless some way is speedily found to
abate this tramp nuisance Kenosha
may have to come to it. The same
tramps come back year after year to

they are now placed. The actions of
the university lobby which has dis
played more "pernicious activity"

any lobby that ever worked at the

Of raising revenues for the support Of
the university, but the whole matter
will probably blow over without any
marked interference with the univer-

will prove a very useful lesson if it
teaches the lobby to be less greedy in
its demands for special appropriations

university is to attend strictly to their
