MUST PAY LICENSE
All Organizations Selling
Liquor at Dances Must
Pay Government License
UNCLE SAM SAYS PAY UP

Societies in Kenosha who have been
accustomed to give public dances at
which liquors are sold will be hard hit
by recent federal ruling which de-
cfares that before such societies may
dispose of liquor they must obtain a
government license at a cost of $25.
The United Societies of Chicago con-
sisting of more than 5000 organiza-
tions have undertaken to contest the
ruling of the government, but the of
fcials OF the organizations have been
given to understand that their Uncle
Sam means just what he says and if
these societies desire to sell liquor at
their dances they must pay the cost of
| the government permit which is $25.
1t is even possible that the federal
agents will seek to collect charges for
permits which were not taken out dur
| ing the year just closed as the present
ruling has been in effect for more
than twelve months.
The ruling will also apply to picnics
and similar gatherings given by the
societies. Of course it will not be
necessary to get a government permit
for each dance as the permit of the
government is issued for a year aud
the cost for one dance or an infinite
number would be the same. The gov
eminent is going to regard these socie-
ties just the same as it does a saloon
and the license must be paid before
any liquor may be sold at the dances
or 'picnics.
The plan usually followed in Kenosha
is to have the license of some regular
saloon transferred to the park where
the picnic is held or to the hall where
the dance takes place, but the govern
ment does not recognize any transfers
granted by local authorities. Mem
bers of the societies in Kenosha do
not seem to regard the ruling of the
government as very serious as it is
claimed that the liquor privileges at
the picnics and dances where it is not
held by regular saloons is not valu-
able one and it is expected that many
societies will eliminate entirely the
sale of beer and other liquors at these
functions rather than pay the govern
ment license. The collectors of Gus
toms at the various collection points
have been directed to enforce the new
ruling to the letter. Kenosha saloon

There is not likely to be any obiec-
ton made to the passage of the amend
ment to the ordinance regulating the
speed Of automobiles which is now be-
ing prepared by City Attorney Calvin
Stewart The changes are to be made
for the double purpose of making the
city ordinance conform to the state
law on the subject and to insure any
fines which may be levied for viola
tons of the speed laws going into the
treasury of the city instead of into
the Golfers of the state. The automo-
bilists will not object for the change
will give them an additional leeway
Of two extra miles over the speed now
permitted under the present ordinance,
and no city officials will put any OBJ
stacles In the way of an amendment
which, while it permits an increase in
speed SO slight as to be scarcely notice
able, will increase the income Of the
city considerably if the time ever
comes when the ordinance is enforced.
However, the scorchers need not take
the news that such an amendment is
being drafted as notification that all
restrictions are removed until it is
passed for public sentiment would
doubtless approve of any measures
chief of police might take to stop the
speeding even if the money paid in
fines did go to the state instead of to
the city.

ARTHUR GARDINER MANAGER
Richard H. WelIes Also Interested
Will Start Small and Expect to
Grow With the Demand for Ma
chimes.

The Waukegan Commercial Club is
making an effort to establish an auto
mobile factory in that city and if the
project goes through two Kenosha men
are to have a prominent part in the
management Of the new company. The
following article from the Waukegan
Gazette outlines the steps which have
so far been taken in the matter and
tells what part the Kenosha men are
expected to take in getting the new
company started:
cat a meeting In Orvis and Beau
bien's Office last evening twenty men
gathered to hear suggestions from Mr..
Wells of the Badger Brass Company,
and Arthur Gardiner, the well known
auto man, both of Kenosha Both of
these men are interested in seeing a
new automobile. factory started here
and both would be willing to put in
some money, in promoting such COM
pany.
The result of the meeting was that
President burst appointed this com
mittee to investigate the matter furth-
err with him to confer with Mr.. Gardi-
ner, etc.: Saml. Schwartz, j. K. Orvis,
| j. p Arthur, w. B. Smith, M. H. Hus-
sey.
The idea of the Waukegan men is to
make Gardiner manager of the new
company and the suggestion is that it
be incorporated for 100000, to be sub
scribed for by Waukegan capital 1t
is felt that, if the people would sub
scribe $77, 900 worth for bringing the
Austin company here when the com
pany itself would have 100000 of the
100000 capital, that they will readily
see the better advantage of taking
stock in company whose prospects
would be just as good and when their
investment would have better chance
Of bringing dividends.
The plan suggested, and likely tC
be followed, is for the promoters ia
raise enough money, possibly $4,000, tC

unfolds a different picture than the
panorama Of today; of that J which
jostles your busy streets with traffic
There was no break neck rush then
of hustling eager thousands, toiling af-
ter wealth; no strange uncanny
tongues or rude discourteous strangers
confronted you, of men from the shores
of further Europe and the Mediter-
ranean, as you sauntered along the vii
lage streets. There were no rich men
then Of all your citizenship, top-heayy
with accumulated wealth There was
a simplicity of horizontal democracy
in those olden times; for the day of
caste, built on the power and influence
of money had not yet come.
1t was in the spring of 1847 that my
father joined the tide of western mi
grafton, which had but recently set in
from the New England states and east
ern seaboard. We came by way of
Buffalo and Ground the lakes" then
the only route of travel, except by
wagon. We landed from steamer
at the pier in front of the village of
Southport, and the first landmark
which greeted my childish curiosity,
was the towering wheat elevators, on
which in large bold letters were the
firm names "Hail & Ayer' and &C. I.
Hutchinson" These were great names
in the commercial activities of those
times. An omnibus conveyed our
family to a hotel, run by Capt. Strong,
located on Main street, about the site
Of Balm IS wagon offices. From thence
we moved to farm south of the vii
lage, where my fathers family resided
for many years, and where in the
course of years, the boys and girls of
the COTE household grew up, only to
drift away to other parts and be for
gotten, except as "a tale that is
told"
All things were in primitive con-
dition, when our family came to the
Northwestern Territory" There
were many splendid farms and honest
frugal farmers, scattered over those
magnificent prairies, but there were al
so vast stretches of open lands, COW
cred with fine pasturage, as virgin as
the pampas of Brazil. One of the
landmarks which memory reveals, was
windmill, situated some miles north
west of town, on the rolling prairie of
Somers, where / was often sent with
wheat and corn to exchange for fami-
ly "grist" and the big arms of the
primitive mill, were curious feature
to me. The "plank road" with its
toll gates, was another feature of those
times; for along its driveway, long
trains of grain and produce wagons,
made their way to the shipping port of
the village, They came from the far
west, and sometimes the streets were
gOrged with loads of wool, hides, wheat
and corn, waiting turn at the store
houses and elevators.
Main street was the principal tho
roughfare of trade, but there was life
and business activity all the way to
the lake front. AS | look down the
street, names and firms long since for
gotten and faces of men, then in "the
heyday of Ife's busy rounds" greet

Work on the pier, at Wind Point is
progressing and within a few weeks
the structure is expected to be finished.
This pier will extend out into the lake
about sixty feet, directly off the point.
1t will replace the old wooden struc-
ture at this place and will enable the
keepers to more easily take their boats
out of the water, which has to be done
every time boat is used as no craft
can be lfioored at this unprotected

equipped with gasoline boat bought
by the government. In many instances

build about three cara Of the design de-
sired and see if a market for them can
be found Mr.. Gardiner said he has
ample room in his big garage in Keno
sha TO assemble the parts of car
which shall be designed and then, after
the three cars are out, better idea
of the demand for the future output
could be obtained and then the factory
plans pushed. All the men believed
this to be the best scheme.
Gardeners experience in auto manu-
featuring causes local men to feel that
he would make good man at the head
of the company. He was for years
one of the expert mechanics for the
Rambler company. His experience
would be great help in launching
such company.
The suggestion of the Kenosha men
was to launch a company which should
follow the plans all auto companies
have in the past-that of purchasing
most of the parts of the car and put
ting them together, probably making
only at first in the new factory which
will be built, the engines and few
minor things 1t was explained that
firms now making the other items can
furnish them much better and cheaper
than a new concern can make them and
the history of the auto is that com
panies always follow this plan. Then
when they get big enough, they build
their own foundries, etc. and start
making more parts until finally they
get large enough to make all the ma
chine.
| The Kenosha men favor building q
car which shall sell for from $3.50 tc
ST 900, their idea being that the large
car is going out of demand, or, that
at all events, the greater demand il
the future will be for. moderate priced
cars. which shall be lighter than the
average now being turned out
That the movement is afoot il
earnest is shown by the interest dis
played in the meeting last night.

Santa Fe Extends Its Tele-
phone Dispatching System

The Santa Fe System has ex-
tended the use of the telephone for
train dispatching over its road from
Denver TO Pueblo, Colorado. The
officials Of this road we're among the
first to recognize the advantages of
the telephone for dispatching. Tel
phones have been Installed over
approximately 1850 miles Of the
Santa Fe lines, and it is planned to
extend the equipment on other sec
lions of the road as soon as possible.
There are about forty telephone
stations ON the 100 mile stretch be-
tween Denver and Pueblo, and here
telephone equipment and Gill selec
tors supplied by the Western Elec-
trio Company have lately been in
stalled. Heavy traffic is carried on
over this single track division.
There are in the heighborhood of 2 S
to 80 trains day. and in the hand
ling cf these trains there are ap-
preximately IS regular meeting
points. This section of the track is
used jointly by the Santa Fe and the
Colorado and Southern railways.
The dispatching, however, is all
done from Pueblo by the Santa Fe.
1t is estimated that the installa-
ton of telephones on this division
will enable the dispatchers to han
die the same amount of work as pre-.
viously in about sixty per cent oI
the time.

McCune Drug Store Wall Paper House. Barn CarFae
A Cause of High Prices.

My good house wife did you ever
stop to think how you are a factor
in the propagation cf high prices?
The grocer could sell his wares
about 10 TO IS per cent cheaper
were there no expenses attached to
the business, One of the big ex.
penses is the delivery of goods.
Did you ever think how much it
costs grocer to maintain two or
three delivery teams and wagons
with their drivers?
All this delivering could be done
at half the expense could the house
wife or person who has the ordering
of the daily supplies but order her
goods In greater quantities so the
delivery wagons would not be COM
PEELED to make so many trips.
Four delivery boys recently met
at certain house, each represent
ing a different firm. They com
pared notes aud found that their
combined orders amounted to bat
IS cents.
This all adds expense to the
business aud necessarily increases
the price at which goods can be
sold.
The merchant must have his prof.
its to live, and must pay these ex
penses before he gets any profit.
All these little items are added in
on the cost to the consumer. Sc
now, Mr.. Consumer. when you or
der a delivery wagon unnecessarily
please remember that you are un
necessarily increasing the cost o
goods not only to yourself but to al
your neighbors.

The Election

Had you thought about it' The
city election is right here. Are you
registered2 If not you had better
look after the matter at once. The
regular city election will not be the
only chance to vote. There are
likely to be two or three bond cleo
tiOns called.
Better register and take them all
in. Who kaows, we may be called
on to vOte on the proposition for
commission government. Better be-
gin to study that proposition.
Sooner OF later it will be up for a
vote.
Petitions are already in sircula-
ton. Towns around US are adopt
ing the plan and, so far, they all
seem to like it.

A Tie Up.

The council was tied up Tuesday,
in Its deliberations over the calling
of the election for the purpose of
voting on the waterworks bonds.
A division in the council arose as
to the expediency of calling the
election Oh the same day as the city
election. Some argued that it
would be wise to have them come
together and save the expense of an
extra election, others thought the
bond election should be held on
day set apart for it, untrammeled
by thoughts of other interests. The
ordinance was referred to the
committee on laws and ordinances
and this committee held the ordi
nance up refusing to report it till
it was too late to publish that day
and that was the last day publication
could be begun to give legal notice.
We believe in an honest earnest man
scrapping for what he thinks the
right but we never have believed in
cannonism and we think this com
mittee went TO the extreme when
the. only question was one Of
expsdiency in the time Of holding
this bond election.
We hope the council may speedily
get together on the proposition and
give the people chance to vote en-
the matter.
