Millions of dollars are freely spent
on the rural free delivery routes, and
although the maintenance of those now
involve an expenditure of nearly forty
million dollars year for operations
which, for the most part, are conducted
at heavy loss, when the city post
master asks for a few additional
thousands wherewith to increase the
efficiency of his service either he does
MT get anything at all or he receives
a reduced allowance falling far short
of the indisputable and pressing need.
No one begrudges the cost of the rural
service and certainly no one desires
to see that service eurtailed or restrict
ed; but it would be only fair to give
the big cities facilities commensurate
with their wants and to expend for
their benefit larger proportion of the
revenues derived from the urban bust
ness than has ever been done yet

The fine sleighing is furnishing fine
port for the youngsters and hundreds
Of them are out "bobbing" every
day 1t would be an impossibility for
the police to stop this dangerous sport
on all the streets of the city, but they
should serve notice on the children
to keep off Main street while catch
ing rides as they are in more danger
of being hurt there than on any of
the other streets. The parents of
course know of the risks their child
zen are taking in jumpiag on and off
the sleds and they are the ones to put
a stop to it.

1t is difficult to imagine anything
more horrible than fire in an insane
asylum and the burning of the I'LL
nois institution at Jacksonville may
teach it's own lesson to the officials of
other similar institutions. Every pos
sibIe precaution, all that discipline,
drill, and trained intelligence can do
to prevent loss of life really can ac-
complish very little when panic seizes

The men who are compiling the new
city directory believe that Kenosha
win show great percentage of in
crease in the next census providing
the enumerators do their work proper
ly The men who make directories
may be presumed to be good judges
in such matters, too, for they are at
this kind of work every day in the
year. That being the case it is to
be hoped that we get high class men
as enumerators in Kenosha whose
figures can be absolutely relied upon
as being correct and complete in every
way for one of the best advertisements
any city can have is to show big
increase in population in the census
report. The conditions here are
peculiar and it will take more time and
care to compile the figures that it does
in most cities, but an effort should be
made to get every name in the reports.

in every form that such actions can

there is any variety Of these suits that

is not the fault of the lawyers who

it is more than likely that this county

it would do we'll to give particular

OTHERS TO TAKE UP CHASE
Wright Laughing in His Sleeve has
Probably Sought Greener Fields
and Pastures New-No Warrants
Issued Here.

Luke G. Wright, he of bank ex-
aminer and aldermanic fame, who man
aged to pull the wool over Kenosha
peoples eyes so gently and SO well
that they did not realize that they
were being stung until after Luke had
shaken the dust of the city from his
feet, is a much sought man today.
Waukegan police have taken up the
hunt for him with warrant charging
him with forgery, the federal officials
are after him on charge OF lmper-
sonating a government official and the
police of Kenosha are recovering from
the effects Of the sting he gave the
city and will seek him on a charge
of jumping a board bill.
If Wright got in right in Kenosha
he got in wrong at Waukegan and
while there was no real entertainment
extended to him at the sister city to
the south one man at least in Wauke-
gan handed out real coin of the realm
and that fact has stung Waukegan
deeper than Kenosha was stung when
the clever crook imposed upon her far
famed hospitality. 1t is true that
Wright sat at the right hand side of
Mayor Scholey in the meeting of the
Kenosha city council thereby getting
as much honor as is being accorded to
DR.. Cook these days, but in Waukegan
it is learned that he fingered long
about the table in one of Waukegan IS
most law abiding Bullets and that he
went out of the place well filed with
the old vintages of the wine cellar
and left a phony check behind. Wau-
kegan police officers are determined
that this prize vintage shall be paid
for even if Wright is forced to work
it out in the state prison Of Illinois.
In the meantime Wright is suppos-
ed to be still going and there are some
who think that he has ability to APP
preciate the joke that he perpetrated
in Kenosha even if he does not realize
that the crime committed at Wauke-
gan was a serious one.
President Brown and the officials of
the First National bank are anxiously
awaiting instructions from the comp
troller of the currency in regard to
the action that will be taken in look
ing for Wright. 1t is certain that
the government will keep up the hunt
nutil Wright is landed but it is not
probable that Kenosha will get a
chance to entertain him at the county
jail as Waukegan will claim prior
hold upon him on account of the for
gerry charge and the government may
insist in oYerstepping the claims of
both cities and taking him to some
government bastile where he can find
the company of some other men who
have trifed with the banking laws OF
the country.
Federal officials in Chicago admit
that they have been asked to make an
effort to find Wright, but they insist
that they have no clue to his present
whereabouts.

The Merchants and, Manufacturers
Association has begun an investiga
tion of express rates all over the state
which promises to be the most thorough
ever attempted in the state and the
association has requested the co-opera-
tion of all the business men of the
state in this investigation whether they
are members Of the association or not.
Every person who does any business
with any of the express companies is
interested in this investigation for it
is hoped that it will result in a more
equitable adjustment of all rates in
the state and any busienss man who
has any complaint against any Of the
companies should get into communica-
ton with the officers of the associa-
ton without delay, There is a very
general belief that recent raises in
rates have not been warranted by the
business done by the express companies
and that some Of the cities in the state
have been unjustly Disseminated
against in the matter of rates and the
association proposes to sift the whole
matter to the bottom and ascertain if
possible just where the trouble lies

TALKS ABOUT CORY
GLORY OF WARFARE

NEW YORK, Oct. pa naval ex-
pedition that brought honor to the
American flag and added an empire to
civilization" but which resulted in the
death of nearly 5000 Koreans, was the
subject of an address by Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley on "Our Navy in
the Hermit Empire"
In recalling an incident little remem-
bered by Americans, Admiral Schley
related how on May IS, 1871. he was
with Rear Admiral Rogers with seven
American war vessels which went to
Korea to investigate the loss of the
American steamer General Sherman,
the crew of which had been murdered.
"The Koreans would give us no in
formation, and when we entered the
river leading up to Seoul they opened
fire on u.s." said Admiral Schley.
1--WE landed 900 men with number of
guns, and they attacked the citadel.
which contained 5000 Koreans. For an
hour and forty minutes there was a
slaughter the like of which was seldom
witnessed before.
mot ten of the 5000 escaped. Some
we're buried under fallen roofs and
burned to death, while some were blown
into the river. Eighteen months after
that a commission of Koreans arrived
in washington to negotiate treaty.

IN HE Southern Pacific is said to be
considering the substitution of
Il electric for oil power on all of
its switching and yardage work in Los
Angeles county, especially at the har-
bor.
The cheapness of hydro-electric
power has impelled the railway man
agement to consider seriously the
change, as in Los Angeles the ratio OF
the cost of electric power to the cost
of oil power Is 30 to 20.
1t is known that several conferences
have been held between Southern Pa
cific officials from San Francisco and
Pacific Electric local officials, and an
other conference on the subject Is
scheduled for next week.
The Pacific Electric company has
ordered three electric moguls for use
at the harbor, and 1t is believed II the
electric locomotives prove satisfactory
the Southern Pacific company VIII
close the contract for a number OF the
electric moguls to be used In all yard
age work in Los Angeles county,
AS the Pacific Electric has the con-
tract to handle all Southern Pacitc
freight at the harbor the trial oy the
former railway of the electric power
NAV be considered as a joint expert
ment conducted by the Southern Pa
cific and the Pacific Electric,
The Pacific Light and Power COM
pany which furnishes all the power
for the Huntington lines, has been
asked, it is understood, to submit fig-
ures relative to the estimated cost of
electricity for enough electric moguls
to handle all Southern Pacific switch
ing and yardage work.
The ease and cheapness with which
hydro-electrlc power is generated In the
mountains Is the cause OF the Southern
