The problem of providing a meeting
place for The Council and once room
for the clerk has been solved for a
time at least by the agreement made
with the County Board by which the
city is given permission to use the
present quarters for a year after the
lease now in force expires. In the
present condition Of the finances Of
the city new City Hall is out of the
question and the necessity Of securing
new quarters has given some of the
members of the Council considerable
worry. The new arrangement is not all
that could be desired by the MUM
cipal Court, but the court will have to
get along as best 1t can until more
suitable quarters can be provided

There is pretty good evidence that
there are several cases of smallpox at
Waukegan which, is altogether too near
for comfort and the health officers are
keeping a sharp lookout that the disease
does not get a fOothold in this city. 1t
is so late in the season that there is
little danger that the disease could
spreadsto any alarming extent in this
city, but it would be decidedly bad for
business should there be any scare in
Kenosha at this time, The experience
the city had with this disease when it
wasjepidemic in the state in it's mildest
form few Years ago is enough to last
for some time yet.

The change in the system Of taxation
of telephone companies from a tax on
incomes to an ad valorem tax proposed
by State Treasurer Dahl would increase
the revenues of the state by over one
hundred thousand dollars it IS estimat-
ed and while the proposed change will
not be received with favor by the com
panies affected it looks like a good
move nevertheless. The present taxes
paid by the telephone companies are
very small when the value of their
holdings are taken into consideration
and unless the statistics upon which the
bill changing the system of taxation
fer these companies are all wrong they
could pay good deal more without
suffering any injustice or contributing
more than their fair share to the
freyenues of the state The state must
raise q lot more money somewhere II
the revenues are to keep anywhere near
the gorgeous scale Of expenditures in
augurated by recent legislatures and
this is a good place to get some of it.

commander of that post, and last June
he was the unanimous choice of the
department encampment for senior vice

been called upon many times to act as
department commander in consequence
of the illness of Commander Coe.
while in Canada he was for many
wears captain Of a company OF local

successor for that worthy comrade.

been called to the head of the depart

Fairchild was elected commander in
chief Senior Vice Henry 2. FISCHER OF
Milwaukee, became department com
mander. In 1889, when Department

Many of the merchants along the
business streets have placed their avn
ings at the proper height above the
walks this year, but there are some
who have made no effort to comply with
the city ordinance in that respect.
There is no indication that the admin
istration will take the matter up and
force the merchants to comply with the
law and it remains for the people who
have to do the trading to do little
missionary work among the merchants
themselves by keeping out of the stores
whose awnings are hung too far down
towards the walks Once let the of
Tending merchants be convinced chat
they were losing trade by their failure
to observe the law and the awnings
would go up where they belong in short

The action of the sixtieth Congress
in increasing the President IS salary
from $4,000 to $4,000 lost most of
its meaning when the appropriation for
travelling expenses was stricken out.
The sum paid the present president is
not greater than the sum available to
the preceding president. Mr., Roosevelt
received $4,000 year plus $4,000 for
travelling expenses, Tt has been recog-
nized that even $4,000 is small, enough
compensation. Sc, if Mr. Taft is to be
granted nothing in addition, if he must
pay his. travelling expenses out of his
salary appropriation, the net effect will
be little short Of piggardly.-New York

Expresses His Views on the Liberty
Of Religious Beliefs.

Norwich. Conn.-President Taft
was the chief figure on Monday in the
celebration of the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of this historic
old New England town. In an adj
dress to the people. after fine mill
tary parade and civic display, the
president, finding theme in the
church influence in the foundation of
Norwich, expressed his views on the
liberty of religious belief.
He pleded that every man should
be allowed to worship God in his own
way The president declared amid
laughter that the American fore
fathers came to this country osten-
sibly to escape religious intolerance,
but as a matter of fact, in order that
they might follow out their own re-
ligious ideas in their own way, and
with a large degree of intolerance to-
ward any other form of belief.
I'VE have passed beyond that now
said the president, and are coming
more and more to relize the right of
the individual to worship God as he
may choose"

KILLED DURING
CELEBRATION Of THE FOURTH
Two Thousand Injured as Result Of
Accidents of Various kinds.-Fire +.
Loss of $724,515.

New York.-More rigid laws and the
growth of public sentiment for sane
celebration of the Fourth of July have
had the result all over the country
in reducing the number of killed and
wounded in the annual holiday.
Full returns for the celebration this
year show a decrease in the number OF
killed from the record of 1908. There
were A fatalities reported against 90
last year. More careful enumeration
of the accidents by the police Of the

count to the smaller towns caused an
apparent increase in the list of in.
jured Figures compiled at o'clock
Tuesday morning showed 2,431 an

against S,19S in 1908.
There was an increase by fire losses
this year, the total being $724,515, as
against $257.9 in 1908. The greater
part of this increase in the loss is
accounted for, however, by a single
fire in Spokane, Wash, which de-
stroyed property to the value OF

Chicago and its suburbs gave strong
evidence of the progress which has

at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. and
