vitation of the members of the Fred

The members of the Fred S. Lowell
Post have also issued call upon the
people Of the city and county to join
in the celebration Of Mothers Day. -
The post has asked that the following
proclamation of the commander in chief
be made public:
Through the fundamentally of
Miss Anna Jarvis Of Philadelphia, Pa,
last year the sesand Sunday in May
was observed or set apart as Mother IS
Day and services were held in many
churches and between five and six
millions of persons throughout the
United States celebrated the festival
On the second Sunday in May this year
the day will be observed universally
throughout the land and will be uni
versal fete day for flial worship, the
white carnation has been selected to
be worn in memory of Mother. Com
rades, there is no class of men living
whose mothers were as patriotic, loyal
and heroic as your mothers from 1861 to
1865. No mothers ever made such sac
rifces as your mothers did, and the
commander in chief requests you on the
second Sunday in May to wear in the
lapel Of your coat a white carnation
or other white flower to honor the mem
! Dry of your own mother if deceased,
and in reverence for her if living
"Who knows better than the members
of our order, the suffering and sacri-
| fees made by the mothers Of '61 to '65
and who of us can forget their devo-
ton to the country and the cause for
which we fought. 1t is safe to declare
that without the support of the brave
and patriotic women of the union. we
never could have succeeded. So let
us designate the second Sunday in May
as Mothers Day, and comrades, let us
continue the beautiful custom inaug-
urated by wearing in the lapel of our
coats on that day, white carnation
or other white flower in honor of our
devoted mothers

MAY OPEN RAvINIA PARK
Receiver Must Secure Pledge of $4,000
Before Going Ahead With Plans

Official announcement was made Mon
day that the opening of Ravinia Park
this season will depend on the outcome
of a movement started some weeks ago
to secure pledges for tickets to insure
against loss. Judge Grosscup, after
viewing last season Is operations, gave
permission to the receiver, George M.
Seward, to open this year provided he
could get advance assurance of sup
port. The amount was set at $4,000
and it is. said that less than half of
this amount has been pledged.
eve will be glad to open the park
if the patrons will pledge themselves
to purchase enough tickets to insure
against loss said Receiver Seward.
I" After the deficit of last season Judge
Grosscup was not inclined to permit
me to open the park, but his permission
was obtained after the committee who
waited upon him gave assurance of sub
stantial support. Orchestras are now
holding their time open for the park

KENOSRA TO MEET ELGIN TEAM
Manager Breen Signs Strong Team of
Old Players and Promises to Give
the Fans a Red Hot Base Ball
Season.

| Manager Peter Breen has completed
arrangements for the re-opening of the
base ball season on next Sunday and
| it is planned to make the opening of
the season an event of great interest
to the base ball fans of the city.
The Kenosha team which promises to
be one of the strongest teams ever seen
at Breen's park is to meet the Elgin
team, one of the strongest semi pro-
fessional teams in the northwest i'll the
opening game and this will aid in max
ing the event memorable one in the
base ball history of the city.
There will be the usual parade to
mark the opening of the season with a
brass band and the police officers and
city officials in automobiles and Mayor
Scholey will pitch the first ball over
the plate or as near to it as he can
get.
1t is declared that the new Kenosha
team will be the hardest hitting bunch
of men ever seen in Kenosha uniforms.
The manager has gone out after a
strong team and has spared no ex-
uense in signing the men to play with
the team. Pulse, the old Kenosha
star, will be back in TIE box again and
Davis, formerly Of Iron Mountain, wiz
be the emergency pitcher. Hennessey,
Foster and King, are well known to
the Kenosha fans and in addition Man
ager Breen has secured number of
stars of the first magnitude in~the semi
professional field. The team is pre-
eminently a TEAM of litters and is
made up of the following players:
Pulse who will pitch, has been in the
box for Kenosha for three seasons and
has repeatedly refused to sign with
| league teams on account Of his desire
to remain out Of professional ranks.
Davis, the emergency pitcher, pitched
for Iron Mountain all last season and
had an enviable record
Schatzke, who will play first base,
has been known to Kenosha fans for
several years when he played with the
Sheboygan team He was considered
the hardest hitter in the Lake Shore
League. Harvey, who will play third
base for Kenosha, was formerly with
the Milwaukee White Socks and he is
widely known among the. fans as a
player and manager, Leibl, formerly
with Sheboygan and one of the fastest
players in Wisconsin, will play second
base; Gage, formerly with the st. Paul
American Association, team will catch.
With Hennessy at short, Schatzke at
first, Leibl at second, and Harvey at
third, Kenosha will have an. infeld
second to none of the semi professionals
teams.
Mason who is to play center field
was formerly with the Duluth team and
he is heavy hitter. Foster and King
who play the other two places in the
| field are both old Kenosha players and
both are able to deliver the goods.
| More detailed announcement of the
opening of the season will be made
later in the week.

tons, 1t springs from the same general
causes. In one case it Is a revolt
against the autocracy Of the speaker
over the house of representatives. In
another 1t Is a protest against a tariff
that is a violation of party promises,
that was framed in an u~nscientiffc and
~haphazard manner and that places un-
necessary and unjust burdens on the
American consumer. In one state it is
a determination to end railroad rule.
Again 1t Is an attempt to dethrone DO
litical bosses and the corporations that
are behind them. In every case it is
an effort to throw off some form of the
rule of crooked bosses in league with
crooked business.
Here are a few of the accomplish
ments of the movement in the eighteen
months since it has assumed form:
1t has registered its protest against
the Payne tariff and has indirectly
compelled the beginnings of az tariff
commission system that will revise the
tariff, n schedule at a time, on a sci
entitc and honest basis.
1t has radically changed the admin
istration's proposed railroad rate bill
and made Of that measure one much
more favorable to the people than il
otherwise would have been.
1t has assisted In the passage Of the
postal savings banks bill, the cam
paign fund publicity bill, the eonserya-
ton bill, the bill giving statehood to
Arizona and New Mexico and other
progressive legislation.
1t has removed the speaker from
the house rules committee and created
a new and enlarged rules committee
elected by the house itself.
1t has made impossible the re-elec-
ton of Joseph G. Cannon to the
speakershlp and, more important still,
has given the deathblow. to Cannonism.
1t has indirectly caused the retire
ment of Aldrich and Hale from the

Peculiar ocounatLons.

The trade Of tooth s%tainer, followed
in eastern Asia, is AZ odd a calling as
any,. The natives prefer black teeth
to the whittier kind, and the tooth
s%tainer, with a little box Of brushes
and colorlng matter, calls on his Gus
toners and stains their teeth. The
process Is not unlike that of backing
o boot, for a fine polish is given to the
teeth. The pigment used is quite
harmless. In Arabia the trade of
''gossiper'' has many followers. The
"gossiper" collects all the news, title
tattle, Jokes and stories he can get
hold Of and then goes from house to
house retailing them. If he has a
good manner and can adapt his re-
citals to his audiences he makes a
very fair income. 4s

1t has drawn to its support the most
forceful and distinguished American
of his time, Theodore Roosevelt.
These are some of it's achievements.
In future it has set itself the task of
sweeping the country and driving all
sorts OF special interests forever out
of American politics.
With such a record and such a cause
the progressive movement has enough
to inspire it to redoubled efforts.
1t has the opportunity to become n
of the very greatest and most benef-
cent forces in American history.
If it can end even a part of the
brood of political vermin Matched by
special privilege-bossism, graft, brib-
cry, monopoly, tariff favoritism and ex-
tortion, corporation rule and the thou
sand and one other offspring Of crook
ed politics and crooked business-it
will have gained a name and a praise
equal to that which we bestow on
the leaders Of the Revolution and the
civil war.
1t frequently happens that men do
not see the greatness of a work In
which they are themselves engaged.
This can only be measured by coming
ages. The movements for political
and industrial uplift in this day are all
allied and form one general cause, in
Guiding the elevation of labor, the pres
ervation of democratic government,
the conservation of the heritage of the
people and the ending of special priv
ilege and its parasitic progeny. This
combined movement may well rank
with the most illustrious upward steps
in history.
1t is a high privilege to be allowed
TO participate in such cause.

Public and Private.

Official dishonesty is worse than per-
sonal dishonesty for the reason that it
Injuries more people. The man who
steals a franchise is a more danger
Gus criminal than he who breaks into
q house, because the first takes from
an entire city. What we need in this
country is a clearer distinction be-
tween public and private. The ety.
mology of the word republic makes it
mean public things. Each man bears
two distinct relations, a public and a
private one. This truth. is so uniyer-
sally accepted as to be ~hackneyed, but
the practice of it is seemingly novel,
for if the public relation is distinct
from the private 1t follows that the
one should not overlap the other or In
terfere with 1t. Individual liberty
should be sacred from public invasion,
and the public domain should be sa-
cred from private invasion.
To the disregard of this simple fun
damental truth can be traced most of
the evils in government. No man has
3 right to seek Office for private rea-
ons 1t Is just as true that he should
not refuse Office for private reasons.
He has no right to enrich OF benefit
himself at the public expense. He has
no right to consider personal friend
ships in the performance of his duty
as a citizen. This. may seem like
drawing a fine line, but 1t is not SO in
fact. We shall never have a republic
in deed and in truth until this funda-
mental principle is universally under
stood and followed. Here Is M mot
to that should be burned into the heart
of every American:
Any man who permits a private con-
sideration to influence him IN q public
action is in that far a traitor to the
public.
