THE CADMAN LECTURE
Celebrated Brooklyn Minister Gives In
teresting Talk on Monday Night

Monday night at the Park avenue
NJ. E. church there occurred one of the
strongest lectures heard in Kenosha
for many day. DR.. Samuel Parkes
Cadman is pastor of the Central Con-
gregational church of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Brought up a methodist, he rapidly at
tanned eminence in that church for his
erudition and remarkable pulpit abili-
ty. Some eight years since he went
into the ministry of the Congregational
church, and has easily maintained his
standing in that denomination, and
that too, in that greatest of all test
grounds for ENTHUSIASTICALLY. He
las, however, carried with him in an
unusual degree the love and esteem of
his Methodist brethren, and today per
haps there is no man in the American
pulpit more acceptable as lecturer,
certainly none more profitable for
Methoalsts to hear, than DR.. Cadman.
His voice is by no means the most must
cal one hears, and his hands seem to
give his sub-conscious self some trou-
BILE at time, but what he says comes
with force, is thrust in with swift,
apparently unprecedented wit, and is
well worth hearing.
Dr. Cadman spoke on 1.-THE Puritan
in Two Worlds.' Really it was a
thoughtful and lucid study Of Puri-
tanism, showing its function in west
ern civilization, and the way in which
that function has been discharged.
The underlying principle of Puritanism
in individualisn, and individualism is
the sure basis of democracy. Society
exists, not to produce great leaders,
but great men, men who in association
can do whatever ought to be done,
and some things besides. Only by de
veloping men as individuals are men
lifted up. And Puritanism contribu'-
ed that. Those who missed DR.. Cad
man lecture missed one of the best
lectures ever given in Kenosha.

with the annroval Of tho conncil

with the approval of the Council.
A very important matter was taken
up by the Council in regard to the
changing of names of the streets of
the city. The fact that several of the
streets bear many names was laid be-
fore the Council by Alderman Pirsch
who suggested that the matter be
taken up with the property owners of
the various wards and reported on at
the next regular meeting. The streets
IN which there is a confusion in the
names include, Ashland avenue and
Caledonia street which the Council sug-
gested be called HSheridan Drive. -
Union and Milwaukee avenue. Victoria
and Aida streets, Maple and Second
streets and Fremont avenue, English
Court aud Prairie avenue, York and
Garden streets, Rock and JENNIE streets.
Newell and Crate streets, Judd avenue
and Lyman avenue, Valentine, Brockett
and Grover streets, Doan street and
Maplewood avenue, Deming and Pom
eroy streets, Jay and Pleasant streets,
Vine and Chestnut streets, Julius
street and Eagle street Some of
these streets have been named in honor
of pioneers and it is probable that
there will be some objections to any
change in the nomenclature of these
streets. In the present form, how
everf, there is considerable confusion
caused and doubtless many property
owners would be glad to see the streets
made uniform in name where possible.

discharge of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany in amounts aggregating $71,870,-
I68. The order provides that sufficient

time ago, except that the compromise
with the creditors was delayed. The
settlement made is that the Milwaukee
company is to pay 80 per cent of the
claims of these five creditors IN cash
in full of the claim without prejudice

Judging from the number of people
who carefully examined the exhi hit
recently made by the manual txaining
department of the public schools, a
great many of the patrons of the
schools are interested in that branch
OF Che school work and regard the
time spent on the manual training
work by their children as well ex-
pended. Many of the most highly
skilled artisans and mechanics of the
city commented very favorably on the
work done in the department as shown
lby the exhibits and the exhibit may
Epe SAID TO have created a very favor
able impression all around. It has
done great deal to lessen the opposi-
ton TO the manual training work in
thet school, which was quite noticeable
fWhen this department was first start
led, for it has shown that the pupils
In that branch are learning something
OF real value. The school patrons are
gaining a better knowledge of the
work that is being done in this de-
partment and from the expressions
heard from those who viewed the ex-
hibit of the work of the pupils it
seems likely that any changes which
may be made in this department in the
future will be along the line of wild
ening it's field of work in the schools
rather than of restricting it's useful
ness. ~

Kenosha Gas & Electric Company
Brings Action In Quo Warranto
Against Kenosha Electric R'y
WOULD GUST COMPANY NOW
Old Company Demands That the Rail-
way Company Appear in Court and
Show by What Warrant it
Uses Streets of the City

The Kenosha Gas and. Electric Com
|pany has started an action to Gust
the Kenosha Electric Railway Company
from all rights claimed by that COM
pany in connection with the franchise
ordinance recently passed by the Com
mon Council. The action is brought
in the Circuit Court for Kenosha
county in the name of the state of
Wisconsin with the Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company named as the rela-
tor. The summons and complaint in
the suit was served on General Manager
Loughridge of the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company on Monday and
he at once forwarded it to the officials
of the company at Detroit, Mich. The
suit is brought by Attorneys Ca0anagh
and Barnes with Clark NJ. Rosencrantz
of Milwaukee as attorney of counsel
and the complaint is signed by R. n.
Klmball as vice president of the COM
|pany. The papers were signed in
Milwaukee on Saturday and the sum
mons at once sent to Kenosha for serv-
ice. In the complaint it is stated that
the company appealed to the attorney
general of the state to bring the action
on last Thursday, but that he declined
to bring the action in the name of the
state.
The summons sets forth all the facts
in the fight for the rights of lighting
Kenosha stating the conditions in the
city previous to the granting of the
franchise ordinance by the City Coun-
ell. 1t admits that the ordinance was
passed by the Council and that there
was no illegal action so far as the de-
tails of the passage of the ordinance
were concerned. 1t recites the fact
that the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Company had been working under
franchise in Kenosha for number of
years, but that on May 28th of this
year it surrendered this franchise and
accepted in lieu thereof an indetermin-
ate permit under the provisions of the
public utilities act. The suit is an
action in quo warranto and it calls into
question the right of the Council to
pass the ordinance and states that the
members of the Council were aware of
the fact that the Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company had surrendered its
franchise and had accepted an indeter-
inmate permit and that it was also
aware of the fact that the State Rail
way Commission had granted no per-
NIT to the Kenosha Electric Railway
Company nor had issued a certificate
of necessity and convenience for the
building of a new system for electric
lighting in the city. The action de-
mands that the court force the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company to come in
to court and show by what warrant
it claims any rights under the fran
ehise and that the company be ousted
and excluded from the use of the
streets of the city.
Under the demands of the complaint
an answer must be filed within twenty
days. 1t is understood that the Of
fcials of the railway company have
been expecting the fling of the suit
and that they are ready to meet the
issues in the case and test the strength
Of the public utilities act.

All automobile owners should take
notice that under the new law passed
by the legislature at the last session
they are required to take out a new
license on their machines without
reference to the date of the licenses
they now hold and that this re-regis-
tration of the machines must be com
pleted within the next ninety days.
The date of the licenses now held by
the owners of automobiles does not
affect the requirements under the new
law a particle and all must take out
the new license. The fee for the new
registration Of the machines is enc
dollar and in the future the cost of
automobile licenses will be two dollars
per year. In this connection the
legislature went a step further and
placed motorcycles under the same
regulations as the automobiles fixing
the license fee for these machines at
one dollar a year. This move to ex-
ercise more rigid supervision over
the motorcycles is sure to be quite
generally approved by the people of
the state for many regard the motor
cycles as much more dangerous vehicles
to have on the public highways than
automobiles and while comparative
statistics are lacking it is almost GER
tain that the percentage of accidents
to the number of motorcycles in use
is as high or higher than that of the
automobile.

Precisely the same principles which
warranted our invasion of Florida
nearly century ago and our inter
vention in Cuba less than dozen years
ago Justify the policy which Japan has
adopted and is pursuing in Corea. For
years the chaotic state of affairs there
had been not only an annoyance, but
a grave menace to Japan, until that
power took action for its own protee-
ton and for the abatement of what
had become an intolerable nuisance.
The general judgment Of the world
will be that Japan had ample title to
undertake the work and that she has
performed it well-New York Tribune.

CROOKED FRUIT TREES.
They Are as Good as Straight Once
II They Bear Well.

When / started my fruit farm had
but little money says writer in
Green's Fruit Grower. Therefore l
planted cherry orchard with crooked
trees, possibly having in mind the
old crooked apple tree of my child
hood, which bore such beautiful fruit
In abundance. That cherry orchard
composed of crooked trees was my
constant delight and proved a success
In every way. The trees we're not re-
markably crooked, but they were not
straight enough to be sold for first
class trees. After the trees had grown
In the orchard five or 10 years they
became as straight as any trees that
could be found No one would have
thought in later years that these trees
had ever been crooked.
In buying trees there are other con-
sidcrations of greater value than the
straightness of the trunks, which so
many planters value so highly. The
question as to whether the trees are
true to name is Of greater Importance
than straightness and beauty. Whether
the trees have been properly protected
and cared for by the nurseryman who
grew them, Is another important ques-
ton that many planters do not con-
slider. Whether the trees are properly
packed and protected for shipment is
another important fact. There are
some varieties Of apple, pear and plum
which are not Inclined to grow
straight. Among these is the Rhode Is
land greening apple, which invariably
Is crooked or bent in the trunk, I have
seen blocks of 10000 greetings and
nearly every one Of them had a crook
or bend in its trunk, like bow-legged
boy.
Some buyers of trees insist upon
each tree being as straight as walk
ing cane without seeming to regard
the fact that some varieties cannot
be grown as straight as others, no
matter how careful the nurseryman
may be, The Bose and winter Nells
pears do not often grow straight. Val
liable varieties of apple, pear and
plum are often discarded by nursery
men for the reason that their patrons
insist upon having every tree abso-
lutely straight, when the nurseryman
knows that these valuable varieties
cannot be depended upon to make
straight trees.

DIVORCE A HOME PRODUCT.

Increase of divorce in the United
States cannot be attributed to the in
fluence of aliens. It must be recognized
as one of the developments of nation
al life for which the native-born
American must accept responsibility,
If statistics are to be believed. Charles
A. Ellwood, professor of sociology, Uni
versity Of Missouri, says:
Divorce it not an evil which the
foreign-born and the negro have
brought to us, for 1t especially char
acterizes the native white, that is,
the prominently American element in
the population. II Is about twice as
high among the native whites as
among the foreign-born. This leads
one to suspect that divorce has some
thing TO do with the individualism of
the American people, the tendency
among us for each one to do as he
pleases, to be a law unto himself
This is borne out by the fact that in
those sections of the country in which
individualism is most highly devel-
oped, the divorce rate is highest
namely in New England and the
Western States. II Is borne out also by
the fact that divorce is more than
four times as common among Pro-
testants as among Catholics The Pro-
testant element in the population Is
the element in which indiyidualism Is
more highly developed; besides, the
Roman Catholic Church refuses to
sanction absolute divorce upon any
ground.
Finally, two-thirds of all divorces
are granted upon demand Of the wife
This suggests that the standards Of
morality of the male element Of the
population are not what they should
be- and that husbands too often give
ground for divorce by immoral con-
duct Higher standards of morality
are necessary as civilization advances,
and conduct which the wife over
looked in the husband a half-century
ago, or bore in silence, now becomes
ground for divorce,
This last statement suggests an
other cause for increasing divorce in
this country, and that is the emanci-
patton of woman. Woman has now al
most equal rights with man, and has
achieved her economic. intellectual
and moral as well as legal indepen-
dence of man. This has been a good
thing in itself, but many women have
used their freedom to emphasize their
rights rather than their duties, and
consequently have rendered the family
life less stable. In 50 far as the move
ment for "womans rights" has been
simply an expression Of growing in
dividualism or selHshness on the part
of our women, II has tended, like all
indiyldualism, to destroy the home,
