This comes as the result of a new
ruling just issued by the interstate com

under which such privileges may legal

tion for circular letter recently is

of rulings Of the commission special
transportation facilities must be with
drawn from many persons to whom
they had hitherto been accorded.
The list included ordained clergymen
acting as editors Of officially recogniz-
ed church papers, as college, presidents
or professors, as financial agents for
church, religious, or charitable institu-
tions, brothers of religious orders, sis
tiers of charity, devoting their time to

The commission has received large
number Of protests against the con

the Hepburn law by the railroads, and
takes occasion in it's ruling to state
that the position taken by the trans

mission says, "the ruling to which
reference is made by the transcontinen-

state the drastic action which it has
taken. A clergyman does not lose his
ministerial standing by reason of the
fact that he leaves his pastorate for
some other field of religious activity.

Gus in character, and who does not
abandon his ministerial work, may le-

Why all this concealment and secrecy
over the selection of the plans for the
new school building in the Third ward?
That secret ballot does not look right
some way and the refusal Of the men
responsible for the selection made to
stand up and be counted is going to
breed the suspicion in the public mind
that there may have been something
in the charges of collision made by
some Of the members of the Board at
the time the plans for the larger
building were under consideration some
time ago. This is plain statement of
fact, however unpleasant it may sound.
We were quite willing to take it for
granted that every man who voted for
any Of the plans presented to the
Board at any time was voting accord
ing to his best Judgment and honest
convictions and that each and all of
them were convinced that the plan
voted for was the best, but we cannot
understand this refusal to go on record
and assume the responsibility for the
decision. Every man on the Board has
a perfect right to his own opinion in
this matter, but the taxpayers also
have the right to know absolutely who
is to be held responsible for results and
any attempt to dodge responsibility
does not look well to say the least of
, it. Fifty thousand dollars Of the tax
payers money is to be expended on
this building and there are mighty few
+, Of them who will be able to see the
necessity of any secret ballot. We're
any of the members Of the Board doing
/ anything that they did not want their
constituents to know about2 We're
any of them breaking or keeping prom
Uses made against their better judg-
mentg Presumably not. Then why a
secret ballota Right here it may be
| well to state that we do not know how
any Of the members of the Board voted
and do not care. We are absolutely
/ opposed to secret ballots in the Board
or the Council at any time and particu-
larly so in matters involving the ex-
poHultuItS VI idISe dmouuIS OI GH0 TAX
payers money. There is no excuse for
secret ballots and they should not be
tolerated. The practice is indefensible
on any ground and the action Of the
Board Tuesday evening established a
very dangerous precedent, one that we
sincerely hope will not be followed in
future meetings of the Board. The
whole course of the Board since it first
started out to get plans for this new
building has been severely criticised in
many quarters and possibly much OF
the criticism was undeserved, but this
secret balloting has not placed the
Board in any better light before the
public. Better find way to go or
lrecord in this matter, gentlemen. Thai

ICE is CONDEMNED
State Authorities Declare That
Ice on Hooker Lake Is Unfit
for General Use
WEEDS P0LLUTE LAKE WATER

For the first time IN many years ice
on one Of the inland lakes of Kenosha
county has been condemned by the
state authorities and the representa-
tives of the ice companies have been
ordered not to cut ice from Hooker
Lake to be used for general consump-
ton and the only use to which the ice
already cut can be put is for cooling
purposes. Several of the largest ice
houses in the county are located on
Hooker Lake and they will not be filled
this year and the company which has
already cut ice on the lake will use it
for cooling cars disposing of it as
rapidly as possible. It is possible that
it will be years before the state authori-
ties will permit ice to be cut on the
lake as i is declared that the waters
Of the lake are so badly polluted that
the ice will not be fit for use. The
cause of the pollution of the lake water
Of Hooker Lake is said to be the fact
that a milk factory at Salem has emp
tied sewage into the lake and that the
weeds in the lake were cut and allowed
to decompose ON the surface of the
water. The weeds were cut from the
surface of the lake last summer, but
they were never gathered up and re-
moved as is usually done and many Of
them decomposed and sunk to the bot
tom Of the lake. It is claimed that the
water is so polluted that the fish have
shown signs Of this condition and that
many fish taken from the lake have
been covered with sores similar to skin
disease in the human being.
The action of the state authorities
was not unexpected to the people inter
ested in the cutting Of the ice Hooker
Lake ice has not been sold in Kenosha
for several years as the houses of the
Kenosha Pure Ice company are locat-
| ed on Lake Mary at Twin Lakes and
| the ice which has been sold here by the
Knickerbocker Ice company has for the
greater part been shipped in from Twin
Lakes. A careful examination of all
the lakes in the county is being made
| by the state officials, but it is not
thought that the ice in any other OF
the lakes will be condemned. It is
probable that the action Of the state
will result in all the lakes being clean
ed up during the coming summer and
fall.

The success Of the night school for
foreigners which closed Wednesday
evening must be highly gratifying to
the Board of Education and the scope
of that work will undoubtedly be
broadened next season, The compare
lively small amount spent on this
night school was money well spent and
next season accommodations will be
provided for all who care to attend
whether they are able to pay the small
tuition fees or not. Foreigners who
are ambitious enough to study at night,
most of them after hard days work,
are the kind that are going to make
good citizens and they should be given
every possible encouragement.

Whether the Cuban congress hereafter

Wisconsin sportsmen are agitating fol-
an open season for duck in the spring
and unless neighooring states can be
induced to pass game laws as, rigid as
those Of Wisconsin they may as well
have it. It does little good to protect
the birds in this state when they are
shot everywhere else and Wisconsin
hunters have some reason to complain
that they are not getting square deal.
1t would be step backward to permit
spring shooting, but the men who have
the most to lose are the ones who appear
to want to take it.

It is admitted that the success or
failure of poor farm depends in a
large measure on the man in charge
and that the kind of men wanted for
this work are very difficult TO get, but
other cities have succeeded with these
farms and it seems a little early for
Kenosha to give up it's farm without
giving the plan one more trial. Even
in case the farm ran behind nearly
as much as it would cost to keep the
paupers in the city flats, forcing the
dependents to live on farm and do
little work would have a tendency to
keep down their number and would be
much better for them in every way
than maintaining them in absolute idle
ness at the expense of the city.

SEEK BURGLARS HERE
Racine Police Claim That Burglars
Who Worked There Came Here

The Kenosha police force this morn
ing received a message from Racine
asking that they make an effort to To-
cate two men wanted there for the
burglary of the residence of A. D. Rob
inson, father of Bishop Henry D. Robin
son. The men entered the Robinson
home Sunday evening and managed to
get away with considerable jewelry
and seventeen dollars in money. It is
claimed that the men were tracked to
the place where they took the electric
car for Kenosha. No trace of the men
has been found by the local police. It
is just possible that the men were the
same men who worked at the Theirs
home on Saturday evening.
