the other hand, continued heavy ship

stocked with poultry, and until the

BY VOTE OF PEOPLE
State Legislature Has Measure Provid-
ing for the Election of Senators

: Assemblyman Cady Of Sank county
has introduced a bill to amend the pri
mary election law with reference to
the nomination of United States senator
and substituted in it's place the cleo
ton of United States senator by a di-
rect vote of the people at the time of
holding the general election in No
vember.
The bill proposes to place the names
Of all party candidates in party
columns, upon blanket ballot, similar
to the general election ballot and thus
permit the voter to take his choice
of any candidate for any one office
from the candidates of any political
party he may choose.
The bill also provides that candi-
dates who do not receive majority of
all the votes cast at the primary fol-
any given Office do not receive the
nomination for such office unless they
are nominated by the party convention
called one week after the primary by
a majority Of the delegates present
and voting.
This does away with plurality
nominations.
The delegates are chosen at the
primary by the electors and besides
making nominations for offices where
the primary fails to nominate by ma.
jority the delegates In convention as
sembled formulate party platform
and nominate a United States senator
where one is to be chosen, to be voted
for by the people at the general cleo
ton in November
The election by the people is to be
advisory merely in view of the con
stitutional requirements that United
States senators be elected by state
Legislatures.

Annual Report Of City Health Of.
ficer Shows Death Rate Is
Little Over One Percent
TO MAKE MONTHLY REPORTS
Health Officer Adopts New Plan for the
New Year and Vital Statistics
Will be Made Public
at Regular Intervals

Interesting facts in regard to the
public health of the city of Kenosha
are shown in the annual report of
Health Officer DR.. J. B. Spalding which
is now being prepared for SUBMISSION
to the State Health Department. The
report will show that during the year
1908 there were 263 deaths in Kenosha.
This would show that the death rate
Of the city is little over one person
for each one hundred. However, the
report shows that the natural increase
in the population Of the city during the
past year was large as the number of
births reported was nearly double the
number Of deaths. It must be taken
into consideration that the large num-
Der of children who die at birth are in
cluded in both the report Of births and
deaths and this fact makes the death
rate appear larger than normal condi-
tions would indicate. The great mass
Of deaths reported are either of child
rem between the age Of one day and
three years and of old people between
the ages of sixty and eighty.
The report shows that there has been
steady increase in the number of
marriages in the city during the year
1908, the total reaching $50. This is
the largest number of marriages report
ed for any year since the passage of
the True Marriage Law ten years ago.
The report Of the State Health Depart
ment shows that Kenosha county has a
larger percentage Of marriages for it's
population than any county in the
state.
With the opening Of the new year
DIR. Spalding has adopted plan of
making O. monthly report of the births,
deaths and accidents in the city and
this will be laid before the city Of
ficials in the future. The report for
the month Of January shows that there
were 73 births, 20 deaths and Is mar
riages, the number of births being the
largest reported in many months Dur
ing the month of January there were
two deaths from tuberculosis in the
city, the number of deaths from this
disease being exceeded only by
apoplexy, which claimed three victims
in January. Six children were born
dead during the month. The report
shows that there were eight people
died whose ages were between SO and
80 years and one who was above 80
years of age. There was not death
where the age was between 35 and so.
The report of the Kenosha health
officer will compare favorably with that
made by similar officials in Wisconsin
and the death rate in Kenosha will be
shown to be about as low as that
found in any cities of this class in the
state.

That Wisconsin IS vigorous campaign
against bovine tuberculosis has attract
ed wide attention and won prestige for
the state is indicated by the circum-
stances under which ex-State Veterinari-
an Roberts is at present lecturing in
New York. He was invited by the
Department of Health Of that city to
present the subject in it's practical as
poets for the information of the dairy
inspectors employed by the department.
While DR.. Roberts is convinced that
the best interests Of the farmers are
conserved by a strict, but reasonable
system of inspection, he recognizes the
injustice perpetrated upon a farmer
when after a tuberculin test, careless
ly applied, his cattle are killed off. It
is to prevent such plumbers that he
favors the thorough training Of. the
dairy inspectors who tour the state ex-
aiming sources of the milk supply for
the city.
DR.. Roberts concludes by observing
that wuen farmers and inspectors get
together and work in harmony as they
will when they realize that fundamen-
tally their interests are in common, the
campaign against tuberculosis, he is
convinced will be carried on without
a sacrifice Of healthy stock.
What can be done in one state can
be done in every state in the Union.
Gradually the conditions which encour-
age the spread of tuberculosis will be
everywhere eliminated, and the dread
disease will cease to decimate man
kind Evening Wisconsin.

In the light of recent events we are
inclined to look with suspicion on the
proposal to refund the Water Company
bonds now outstanding and issue city
water bonds in their stead with an in
crease in the amount of the issue to
provide funds for an intake pipe or
anything else and are glad that the
proposition will have to be submitted
to vote of the people before it can
be acted upon. From some angles the
proposal looks altogether too much like
another attempt of "the powers that
be- to get hold on the management
of the Water Company and it's revenues.
Try and imagine what a fine chance
the company would have to earn a
profit for the taxpayers when the same
crowd that has been running the city
for the past eight or nine months had
the management Of it, A change in
the method of operating the Water
Company would undoubtedly be fine
thing for somebody, but we hardly
think the taxpayer would benefit.

The origin of the fire is a mystery
but it supposed that someone VINO had
attended the masquerade from the no

must have dropped the lighted match
among some bits of oiled paper and
rags on the floor.
Messrs. Capron & Stevens, prophet

feed, but saved a large portion of their
groceries. Their loss is about $4,000;
insured for $4,000.

The work of preparing the Munich
pal Court bill should be hurried so
that it can be introduced in the legisla-
ture before the time set for the presen-
tation of bills at this session expires.
The Legislature is quite likely to ex-
tend the time for the presentation of
bills, but there is no use in taking any
chances. The urgent need for such a
court to relieve the docket Of the Cir
cult Court of minor cases is shown by
the fact that the Circuit Court is still
working to clear up the calendar fo1
September term although some cases
have been put over to the March term
of the court.

The citizens Of Kenosha should
make it plain to their representatives
on the School Board that there is to
be no more secret balloting in connec-
ton with the awarding Of any con-
tracts for the new school building or
on any other question to come before
the Board. There is absolutely no ex-
cuse for any secret balloting. The
people have every right to know where
every member Of the Board stands on
every question and any member who
feels that he has anything to conceal
by secret ballot is not a safe man
to have on the Board and should be
retired by the voters at the first OPP
portunity.

The Americans who are severely
criticising the relief work for the
Italian earthquake sufferers should re-
member that our own skirts are not so
clean that we can afford to throw any
mud in that connection. There were
nasty hints Of graft and stealing in
connection with the disposal Of the
funds subscribed for the benefit Of the
California, earthquake sufferers and
there is more than a suspicion that all
of the money sent to San Francisco for
relief work never reached those for
whom it was intended and we do not
remember that any one was punished.
There is no politics, race, or religion
in graft and the Italian vultures who
are fattening off the misfortunes of
their countrymen are no worse than
their brethren in America who did
precisely the same thing. Let their
own government deal with them.

The twenty-five ride communication
ticket "books" now in use ON the
Northwestern are the most inconvenient
form of transportation both for pas
sengers and conductors ever put out by
any railroad and Kenosha people are
hoping that the road will soon return
to the old form of ticket that takes no
room i'll a. pocketbook and can be
punched in an instant. The only
recommendation for the present form
in which the Communication ticket is is
sued is that it enables the road to
check up it's conductors more carefully.

doctors appointed by the president of
the meulcal society to confer with the
officials of the hospital reports and some
plan for the new hospital is definitely
decided upon and the cost of the kind
of building desired is figured out the
people Of the city will have to go into
a committee of the whole to consider
ways and means of raising the money
needed. The present building is entire
ly too small to care for all who apply
for hospital treatment now and with
any kind of accommodations the work
of the hospital would be doubled in a
short time. Some way will have to be
found to get more room.

Unless there is decided change for
the better, the Cuban problem will be
one of the first with which the Taft
administration will have to grapple.
Americans who are familiar with the
present situation in the island estimate
the life of the present republic at any
where from three months to two years
but none of them is SO optimistic as to
predict that it will be enduring and
stable. Already talk Of revolution is
rife and the army of occupation may
have to start back at any time.

Kenosha should join any movement
to change the time for the payment of
the taxes so that the burden will fall
easier upon the taxpayers and it GER
tainly looks as if it would be easier for
the average man to pay taxes in July
than it is to pay them in January or
February when there are the coal bills
to meet and numerous other expenses
incident to the winter season. Of
course the time never really comes when
it is convenient to pay taxes, but in
case the majority of the taxpayers
think that they can meet them better
in July than they can at the dates now
fixed for payment the date could be
changed easily enough. In case Keno
sha people favor the proposed change
to July they should see that the Coun-
Gil acts on the petition to that effect
at once and so inform their represen-
tatives in the legislature From pres
ent indications the taxpayers Of Keno
sha are going to have all the load they
can stagger under even if it we're pos
sible to allow them to fix their own
dates for payment. Should things be
permitted to run along Tor the next
year as they have run for the past
eight months the property owners will
get bump when the next levy is made
that they will remember for the rest OF
their lives.

The report of John Nolen, landscape
artist, on state parks for Wisconsin,
published by the State Park Board is
beautifully printed and it will give
Wisconsin people some new ideas of the
beauty spots Of their own state. The
Park Board in it's report recommends
four sites for state parks and it's
recommendations should be acted upon
by the legislature at this session if
possible for every delay simply means

will have to pay for the lands wanted

and in consequence it is probable that
