At this time it seems likely that
kenosha will fall into line with most
of the other cities in the state and
have home coming celebration of it's
own some time during the spring or
summer of 1910. The idea or having
the old boys and girls come back home
for week to see what great strides
the city has made in the past few years
appeals to a good many people and
there is no better way to advertise
city than to hold one of these cele-
brations. Some of the most promi.
nent and energetic business men of the
city are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of having home coming and if they
decide to take the matter up it will
be pushed in every possible way and
made a success. The matter should
not be gone into in any haphazard
way, however, for it will take lots
of work and money to make such an
affair success and unless it is to be
made an unqualified success it would
not do to hold any kind of celebra-
tion. A partial failure would be
worse for the city from an advertis
ing standpoint than no celebration at
all and unless large majority Of the
business men of the city agree to work
for and support the celebration il
would be wiser to drop, the whole mat
ter at once. It would be an impossi
bility for two or three or even dozen
business men to do all the work of get
ting ready for the home coming and
have any time at all to attend to their
own affairs and they should not at
tempt it.

"A suit of interest TO every Town
Board and to every automobile owner
in the country has just been filed in
New York in which the heirs OF q
man killed in an automobile accident
on a country road sued for damages
alleging that his death was due to a
defect in the road and that therefore
the township responsible for the
condition of the road is liable. Auto
mobiles have suffered much from bad
roads, but this is the first suit in which
an automobile is concerned in which
an attempt is made to recover and it
opens up vide field of conjecture as
to the course the law will take in
future rulings as to the duties of town
officials in preparing their highways
for the passage of automobiles and
Of the rights Of automobile owners to
recover in case of accidents due to
defective roads. The rights Of al
owner of any ordinary vehicle to re,
cover damages for accidents due 10

he has not been warned are fully es.
tablished and while it is not Likely
that, at this time, the court will hold
that the automobile is an ordinary
vehicle within the meaning of the law
and SO entitled to recover damages
as such on account of defects in high
ways the time is coming when it will
be so held. The automobile is here
to- stay. 1t is becoming part and par
eel of the daily life of the people with
astonishing rapidity and the township
officials in charge of roads and the
courts will soon have to take official
cognizance of that fact. The law will
never attempt the impossible and seek
to make the roads safe for the auto
mobile scorcher for the scorcher is
never safe on any kind of road,
but the time is coming when all roads
must be made as safe for an automo-
bile proceeding alta rate of speed well
within its safety limit as it is for any
other kind of vehicle under similar
conditions. The machines will soon
be ordinary vehicles in every sense of
the word and entitled to precisely the
same protection against accident IN
the public highways as any others.

Congress mas many times given its
vote of thanks to commanders of its
armies or navies, and occasionally
freely scattered bronze medals for
special acts of bravery, but its recogni-
tions of great services in science or art
have been very infrequent, evidently
forgetting that ''peace has it's vic
tories no less removed than war. y
When our fathers broke away from
the mother country and established a

MAY SEEK MANUAL TRAINING
Students of Paroc1ial Schools May At
tend Manual Training Departments

The plan of extending the use of
the manual training departments of the
public schools to students in the paro-
chial schools Of the city is being dis
.cussed among members of the Board
of Education and it is possible that
some action along this line may be
taken after the opening of the new
year. AS these schools are supported
in a way by state aid the parents of
children in the parochial schools seem
to think that they should have the
right of sending their children to these
schools In other cities this privilege
has already been granted and it is ex-
peeted that the Board of Education
in Kenosha will take some action in
the matter before great while.

The continental countries will soon
learn that the habit of permitting the
unfit to cross the ocean only to be
returned is not sane economic policy.
The trip over not only costs money,
but represents loss of time to those
wage-earners who are refused admis-
sion here. The man who gives up his
Job on the other side and is sent back
disturbs labor conditions by his I'M
expected temperance. Hence, it will
be wise for the nations across the
Atlantic to do some inspecting before
opening the gates to would-be immi-
grants Brooklyn Standard Union.

The Massachusetts, bureau of Stats
tics of labor, which always has some
thing interesting to say, has just is
sued report upon the prevalence Of
tuberculosis among factory workers in
that state, largely due to the inhaling
of dust during the manufacturing pro-
cesses. The most practical and inter
esting part OF this report concerns the
facts relating to the cooperation of
employers and employees in measures
to check the disease, both in Mas
sachusetts and other New England
states.
In the city Of Worcester twenty
eight manufacturers, employing $3.50
persons, and ITS mercantile firms, en-
ploying 1000 clerks, have agreed to
pay the expenses of any of their en-
ployes afflicted with this disease. The
great Brockton shoe factories main
tain medical inspection and tuberculo>
sis classes for the benefit of the work
men. The most interesting expert
ment, however, in checking the ravages
of tuberculosis is one of the self
among factories in Hartford, Conn.
where 10000 workmen are banded to-
gether to fight the pest. Each factory
is a center operating for itself. It
elects its own officers and makes its
own plans for raising funds, to which
the employers contribute " sum equal
to that raised by the employees. The
chairmen of the Various factory cen
tiers meet four times year and com
pare notes and plans for the future
and also elect an executive committee
of an advisory character, this commit
tee being in closer connection with
hospitals and patients than the work
men can be.
This plan of cooperation as well as
that of self-help with the assistance of
employers is eminently practical, and
good results are already manifest. The
great employers of labor and the labor
leaders may find matter for thought
in this Massachusetts report. There
are few employers who would refuse
to cooperate with their employees in
the benefcent work of fighting tuber.

jumping-off place between God 8

The trip was made for the purpose
Of looking into road and telephone
line conditions both of which, Mr..
Nicholson states, needs careful at

tablished and is maintaining 161 miles
Of telephone line In that forest which
Is Independent of any other telephone
system in the world. There is no 9th
or line within miles OF that section.
The line extends from Kanab TO the
old b. T. Park ranch.
Work is being done on the forest
roads every day and the condition of
the same, declares the engineer. Is
very good. He says the department
has also decided to build good noun

forest toward Richtleld and that ulti-
mately he expects to see fine boule

MINING EXPERT IN
THE FOREST SERVICE

B. L. Wheeler. mining expert of the
national forest service. has returned
from q two weeks trip to Marysvale,
the old mining camp of Piute county,
which is situated IN the Fillmore for
est. and TO Moab which Is in the La
Sal forest The object of his trip was
TO inquire into mining claims that
are applying for patents.
Mr. Wheeler states that the forest
department employs an expert mining
man TO investigate claims that are
about TO be patented so as to deter
mine whether they are really miner
al lands, his report on the same being
sent To the Interior department 1t is
somewhat of new department and the
plan has been instituted at the request
OF the Interior department 1t is
thought by the head Of the department
that an engineer, working with the
forest forces, can accomplish greater
results for the government than one
who is connected directly with the
Interior department.
Mr. Wheeler says the historic camp
Marysvale. and the adjoining gold
camp. Kimberly. are very quiet aud,
as a matter of fact. almost abandon
cd as working sections. Stnl, he
says. there are number of proper
ties there that will soon be patented
and they contain good values.
