TO ARREST BATHERS
Police Ordered to See That Bathers
Use the Public Bathing Beach

Chief or Police Owen Hare issued
orders to the members of the police
force this morning directing the arrest
|of men and boys found bathing in the
lake at any place except at the public
bathing beach on Washington Island.
This move has been made necessary
on account Of the continued complaints
from people in the south part of the
city. Men and boys have been run
ming along the lake shore in this part
|of the city partially clothed to the
great annoyance Of the people and the
police have been ordered to arrest these
men and boys on charges Of disorderly
conduct. AS there is no fee charged
for the use of the public bath house
the chief declares that the men must
use this beach or else Keep out of the
lake within the limits of the city.

SETS NEW RECORD
Automobile Business Breaking
All Former Records With This
Years Sale Of Cars
NOW USED IN MANY LINES

Do you realize that something
like 100000 automobiles are whizzing
about this country?
In every city, town and hamlet over
every country road and up the noun
taip sides, steam, gasoline and electric
machines are whirling their human
freight every day in the year. Yes,
100000 Of them are transporting
humanity.
Few realize how vast the automo-
bile industry has become. The ma
chimes are so common that the i'm
portance of the business has been
overlooked by the public.
There are 121 establishments manu-
featuring automobiles in this country
and most of them are behind in their
orders.
The capital invested is $20,555,247.
Officials and clerks employed draw
annually $l,076,425.
Inc wage earnerS NUMBER 1883.
They earn annually $6,17s,950.
The annual output is 1852 cars.
An enormous business.
The automobile is no longer luxury
for the wealthy. 1t has become a
necessity. Not only the wealthy, but
families of moderate means find the
self propelled vehicles almost neces-
sity.
Father goes to the office or to his
factory; mother and daughter go
shopping and the children go to school
in the car. The upkeep is no greater
than the care of horse or two, and
the mobility Of the automobile makes
up for a slight difference.
The automobile has entered almost
every business. Merchants who form
erly maintained dozens Of horses for
delivery service have retired the
eqllines in favor Of machines Fire
departments in some cities use gaso-
line driven apparatus. Gasoline pa
troll wagons are common. Farmers
drive threshers with automobile en-
gines and go back and forth to town
in their cars.
American cars cost from 5000 to
$4,000, but the medium priced car of
from $1,000 to $4,000 is most popular
Many prefer to purchase second
hand cars, which originally sold for
say $4,000 and have been used only
about n year, and which may be pur-
chased for about one-third of their
cost, to investing in new machines.
In this way men on salary are able
to maintain high grade ear, which
they could never hope to earn unless
able to buy them second handed
Some day, perhaps when the market
is glutted, automobiles will come down
in price, just as the bicycle has, and
new cars Of excellent make will be
within the reach of every man, but
at present this seems far away

TO FORCE THE ISSUE
County Option TO Be One Of Big
Questions IN Primary Campaign
in State Next Year
WILL PUT ALL ON RECORD

Although it has been given out
officially by the county option people
both in statements in their papers and
| in Interviews by Supt. i. G. Humphrey
| of the anti-saloon league that they
would take no part in the primary
campaign for governor and state
officers the attitude of Senator III. W.
Barker of Sparta may plunge this
state into state ticket fight on the
| issue. The position of Senator Barker
lis that the county option issue is as
much state fight as a legislative bat
| tie and that there should be some can
didates for governor and a county OPP
ton platform. Although rather dis
claiming that he is possessed with a
gubernatorial bee Mr.. Barker would be
willing, at any rate If no other cham
pion of county option came forward,
to be the champion in battle con-
Quoted on that line. In fact the init
nation from Senator Barker S friends
lis that he will likely be in the field
as county option candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor
The attitude Of Senator Barker is
but illustrative of the feelings of
many of the friends of county option.
These members Of the rank and file
friendly to county option do not agree
with the plan of the leaders to keep
the county option issue out Of the
state fight and are very anxious that
there shall be candidate Tor COVER
nor on county option issue. In
fact, there has been much grumbling
among the rank and file of the county
option people since the declaration
went forth from the leaders that
they had no intention of taking
part in either the United States
senatorial or gubernatorial campaigns
but should confne their efforts to
fighting for the control of the
next legislature in the hope of
securing a majority of the members
who should be favorable to county
option.
As is we'll known it has been largely
through the instrumentahty of the La
Toilette leaders in the state that the
county option leaders have taken the
stand that the gubernatorial and SEN
atorial campaigns in the primary shall
not be tinged with the county option
issue. The LaFollette leaders are
very anxious to steer clear of entan-
clements on the county option issue.
Senator Robert NJ LaFollette is very
much afraid of what the result may be
IT the county option issue is allowed
to become big issue in the campaign.
The senator is afraid that it may
overshadow what he considers are
the representative government or major
issues before the people Senator La
Toilette thinks that the control of the
government by the corporations which
he believes now exists, may be lost
sight Of III a state wide fight over the
county option question and he believes
such condition of affairs would be an
injury to the cause of the people.

Wisconsin's Cheap Lands.

Taking his cue from an editorial in
I the Chicago Record Herald on 1.-The
Land Hunger Of Americans, A. D.
Campbell, commissioner Of immigration
for Wisconsin has addressed to that
Journal communication in the course
of which he says:
81 am impelled to call your attention
to the fact that we have in Wisconsin
lyet unoccupied, at least 100000
acres of as productive soil as is to be
found anywhere in American. This
area is in the hardwood timber belt of
the northern half of the state. 1t is
suited to general farming and especial
~ adapted to dairying and stockrais-
ing because of wonderful grass produc-
ton, absolutely pure water, and invi-
gorating climate. 1t is not only close
to the best markets, but has a splendid
market within its borders in the many
manufacturing towns that now exist
and the many more that will result
from the development of our multi
tude of magnificent water powers.
This area is gridironed with through
lines of railway. Lands may be OBJ
tanned near thriving towns. They
can be purchased and cleared for less
than the usual charge for water in ir-
rigation propositions. Building ma
terial is cheap and fuel is upon the
land. The future high value of these
lands is assured for the reasons al
ready enumerated and for the addi-
tional reasons that such high paying
crops as cigar tobacco, sugar beets,
clover seed, potatoes and small fruit
are produced -
The old proverb of "Out Of sight,
out of mind" explains why there, are
every year thousands of individuals
leaving the United States to settle
on farm lands in the canadian North
west, and never realizing that if they
chose they could settle on cheap but
excellent lands without going beyond
the border of the Badger state. Until
very recently the possibilities offered
in the cut-over region of Northern
Wisconsin were rarely referred to in
print. canadian opportunities, how
ever, have been kept before the world
by continuous advertising for more
than twenty years.
In taking advantage of every chance
which offers for the .Etalking up'' Wis
consin Commissioner Campbell is per
forming the function for which his Of
fee was created, and is carrying to
thousands a message that they may
look back to in future years as hav-
ing attracted them to a land of promise
and assured their subsequent prospect

The pension system has grown enor-
mously in this country. No matter
what may have been the opposition of
the fathers to it, the fact remains that
the idea has been established. If it is
proper to pension army and navy pco-
pie, old soldiers not suffering from
disease and wounds, policemen and fire
men and school-teaehers, it is proper
to pension employees who devote their
lives to service they entered on
merit and their places in which they
maintained by meritorius labor. It is
an evolution which has in it all the
force found in reyolutions.-Brooklyn

If there is any doubt in the minds
Of the city officials in regard to the
manner in which the street railway
company has put in it's lines in the
city they would be justified in incur
ring the expense of hiring an expert
to go over the system and see that
everything is safe before the ''luice -
is turned on. A current of the high
voltage needed to operate the street
lighting system Of the city is not to
be lightly regarded and the officials
of the city will be partly responsible
should any accidents happen as re-
suit Of any defects in the installation
of the system. The street railway
managers would not object to such an
inspection and would doubtless be will
ing to make any changes considered
necessary to make everything per-
fectly safe. Some of the construc
ton work done by the railway
company was objected to by the
other companies maintaining over
head wires in the city and the
changes suggested by experts called in
from outside cities to arbritrate be-
tween the companies have been made,
but the criticisms made have had a
tendency to make some people fear
that the opening of the lines will be
followed by accidents and unless the
city officials are sure that there is alb
solutely no danger other than that
which always attends the installation
of new system of this kind now is
the time to investigate.

A number of Kenosha people have
registered for the drawings Of govern

are coming in it is estimated that each

There is considerable dissatisfaction
expressed in many of the counties Of
the state over the new law in regard
to the selection of jurors to serve al
coroners inquests which does not per
nit coroners, justices, constablos OF
sheriffs to select these juries, but re-
quires that they be drawn by the
clerks of the courts, but this dissatis-
faction does not seem to be based on
anything more than the fear that GER
tain officials will be, put to a little
extra trouble and it will probably be
found that the law will work out all
right in practice. The law is critics
ed on the ground that it will add to
the expense of the counties, but these
claims are unfounded for it would not
add anything to the expenses of the
county to have the jury commissioners
prepare a special list of acceptable citi-
zens for service on coroners' iuries
from which the clerk of the court
could draw jurors as they are needed.
1t would also be simple matter for
the commissioners to select the names
of men within easy reach for this list
so that there would be no extra ex-
pense involved in summoning them to
the inquests. This law is designed
to do away with the evil of sprofes-
sional iurymen" and to secure more
satisfactory verdicts from coroners
luries than have oftentimes been rem
dered iii the past 1t is intended to
raise the standard Of coroners iuries

now obtain in many cities where the

have to be tried.

The weak spot in the plans of the
promoters who propose to build IA great
roadway for all kinds of traffic be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee is their
estimate of the value of the lands they
will have to get for the road. 1t has
been the experience of every one who
ever tried to secure a right of way for
any kind of road that no matter how
eager the owners of the lands through
which 1t must pass may appear to be
for the coming of the road that they
always want a fair and often an ex-
orbitant price for the right Of way
when it comes to signing deed. The
experience of the promoters who
figured on building west of this city
is case in point It is certain that
the majority of the owners Of lands
along the proposed right Of way of a
line running west from Kenosha to the
limits of the county would like to see
ouCu Hue UuIlb UuC the men WHO
figured on the cost Of such an enter
prise found that they would have to
allow about as much money for the
securing of right of way as they
would have to put up to force the road
through a hostile territory. 1t is
probably true that the tsGreat White
Way would enormously increase
property values all along the route,
but it would be difficult matter to
convince the average farmer that he
should let the right of way through
his property go for a merely nominal
figure on that account. He does not
deal much in futures as a general rule.
He waits to be shown.
