Facts Not Fancies.

With the fling Of petition demand
ing that tie question of licensing sa-
looms be laid before the voters Of the
city new sort of campaign has been
opened for the people of Kenosha and
ct is a campaign that must be carried
On with considerable vigor This vigor
may develop into bitterness before the
fight is over and the voters render their
vetdict, but "wets" and drys =
should remember one thing and that
is that nothing is to be gained by
getting fused up over the proposition
The liquor question in the past ten
years has become one Of the great
political issues in this country and
while Kenosha has been slow in get
ting into line for an expression on
the question this city should meet the
question squarely and fairly. 1t is
question for the majority to decide the
same as any other question. Argu-
ments may be made on both sides OF
the question, but one rule should be
observed in the argument and that is
to stick to the truth. The cause of
the "drys" will not be helped by false
statements and the cause of the
"wets" will not be retarded by state
ments which can not be backed by
facts. The great amount of the Bit
terness that is engendered in such cam
paigns does not come from the presen-
tation of facts, but from the peddling
of misstatements. The attempt to mis-
lead the voters by statements which can
not be proven is simply an invitation
to the opposition to believe that the
entire cause is insincere and the men
who stand for one side or the other
hypocrts. The truth hurts some time,
but if it is truth the one who is hurt
must stand by the results. A lie only
weakens the cause and it matters not
what this cause is. The saloon propo-
sition has it's business and its moral
side and it may be properly discussed
from both of these standpoints and
discussed in manner that need stir
up no bitterness. The vigor of the
discussion need not lead the friend or
the foe Of the saloon to traffic in per-
sonal abuse of the men who may hon
estly differ on this question. There
are two sides to this as we'll as any
question and every man is entitled to
his own opinion and it is necessary
that he grant this same privilege to
his neighbor who disagrees with him.
The saloon question while a political
issue is not a party issue and the war
fare that is waged for and against this
institution should take no part in de-
termining the partisan issues Of the
city campaign.

GET NEW PETITION
Property Owners on Elizabeth st. tt
Ask for Paving of Entire Street

The Kenosha city council will prob
ably let contract for another big paw
ing job within a short time as this
morning new petition was taken out
asking for the paving of Elizabeth
street from Ashland avenue to the west
limits of the city. The petition will
be first presented to the manufactur-
ing companies who own large amount
of property on the street and If these
people sign the petition it will be taken
to the property owners. A large ma
jority of the property owners, especial
~ among the people west of Rowland
avenue have signed petition already
and it is expected that all of these
will sign the new petition. The peo-
pie on the west end of the street are
anxious to have the council let the con-
tract at the earliest possible time so
that the work can be completed during
the present year.

Has Record of Forty-six Years of Serv-
ice on the Northwestern as Brake
man, Fireman and Engineer-Widely
known to Travellers.

John Ward, the veteran Kenosha
railway engineer who recently retired
from the active service of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway Company, is
receiving the homage Of the members
of his profession about this section of
the country on account of his long
service and at the time of his retire
ment few weeks ago he had the
record of being the oldest engineer on
the road in point of years of service.
He retires on a pension after forty-six
years of service. He is lovingly known
to the officials as well as the rank and
file of the railway men as "Jack"
Ward and this month Is issue of the
Northwestern Bulletin contains long
article on Ward and his services for
the company. In this article the Of
icials of the company ray high tribute
to the service rendered the company by
the engineer. The article says:
"Mr. Ward was born in Cane, N. H.,
in 184S and entered the service of our
company as brakeman at GAINESVILLE in
1864, serving in this capacity for seven
years. He then went into the engine
service and fred for two years when
he was promoted to engineer. This
was in January 1873 and he has been
serving continuously for thirty-seven
years. During this long period he has
the distinguished reputation Of never
having served any time off for censure.
1T gives great satisfaction to refer to
such a record, and although he has re-
! tired from service we are always proud
and glad to see him which opportunity
he gives us quite often as he can not
keep away from his old stamping
grounds, dropping around frequently to
give good advice. His old friends join
in wishing him good health. May he
live long and enjoy the benefit derived
from his forty-six years of true and
faithful service.'
Mr.. Ward was especially we'll known
to the travelling public in Kenosha as
for more than twenty years he was on
the run between Kenosha and Chicago
and no man on the road was better
known to the travelling public of Ke-
nosha. While retired Mr.. Ward is in
excellent health and is living quietly
at his home in Kenosha.

PLAN SECOND SHOW
Wisconsin Lake Shore Poultry Breed
ers' Assn Discuss Plans

AT the lSeeting last night the mem
bers of the Wisconsin Lake Shore Poul-
try Breeders Association voted for an
increase of membership dues to IS.
Several new members enrolled. Vol
untary subscriptions close to one hund-
red dollars was subscribed by the
members present to pay the debts of
the old association. The fact that
many of the members are still to be
heard from who viii give help, viii
undoubtedly give the association
very good guarantee fund, eliminating
possibility of getting into financial
difficulties in the future
At the election of officers the fol
lowing were chosen: Aug. w. Barth,
reelected president; Frank Joernt,
first vice president; Clas. Kluendar,
second vice president; w. Monroe,
third vice president; E. j. Huber and
I. I. Parker were elected to the offices
of secretary and treasurer respective
ly. The board of directors for two
years are John Bruins and Allan Cole.
The members voted on the question
of whether to hold county fair or
poultry show under the poultry asso-
citation rules, and it was UNANIMOUSLY
voted that another poultry show under
the American Poultry Association rules
be held, some time in the last part of
January 1911 and that the services of
Judges Hale, Tucker and Shellabarger
be secured.
1t was also decided to buy most of
the coops, instead of renting them,
as the old association found that the
renting of coops was a rather )expen-
slve proposition and that the delay
which was occasioned, due to the fact
of the rented coops held up enroute,
knocked out nearly two admission days
of the first exhibition. This trouble
would be eliminated by the association
owning their own coops.

Secretary of State First Of
Minor Officials to Seek
Support in Kenosha
SENDS OUT MANY LETTERS

The primary fight for the selection
of candidates for the minor state Of
fees has been opened in Kenosha and
Monday afternoon hundreds of Keno
sha Republicans who have been more
or less active in state politics in the
past six years received personal let
tiers from Secretary of State James A.
Frear announcing his candidacy for re-
election to that Office. It is under
stood that all the other state officials
with the exception of the attorney
general will send out similar announce
ments within the next few days and
the voters of Kenosha county will be
bombarded by the candidates. This
is regarded as territory favorable to
Frear on account of the fact that he
was at one time speaker at the Old
Settlers picnic. He has many friends
of a political nature in the county who
are actively urging his candidacy for
new term. In his letter Mr.. Frear
goes into his record as state secre-
tary and shows the number of things
that have been done in his depart
ment during his long term of office.
He refers at length to the laws drafted
in his Office and enacted by the legis-
lature and speaks especially of the
Corrupt practices law for which he
takes much of the credit. He speaks
of the changes that have been made
in the clerical work Of the state under
his suggestions and declares that if he
is reelected this work will be advanc-
ed. In closing his letter he speaks
especially Of his work as a promoter
of the so-called progressive legislative
of the state. In this regard he says:
Throughout the struggle in this
state for progressive legislation I have
actively supported the laws that re-
turned to the people more direct re-
sponsibility for official acts and that
have given to Wisconsin its present
effective control of public service cor
porations. However, great or limited
may be the field of opportunity this
progressive policy must be continued
in state and national affairs by our
representatives in official position. For
this reason I urge legislation affecting
the department that is essential to
sound business methods to the conduct
of state affairs on business principles.
If enacted, it will supplement present
laws, by better conserving state
finances at a time when a general con-
servation of resources and protection
of public interests is demanded

TO Be OPEN LONGER
Polls in This City viii Be
Open Until Eight O'clock
on Election Day
Due TO THE VOTING MACHINES

AS Kenosha uses voting machines on
election days the polling precincts will
be kept open until o'clock in the
evening instead of o'clock as has, al
ways been the custom, the last legisla-
ture having passed a law which pro-
vides that all cities of the state using
voting machines shall remain open I'M
til s O'Clock in the evening. The at
torney general Of the state in letter
to city officials stated that the new
law would have to be observed here and
election clerks and inspectors will be
informed of the change in the hours
of keeping the polling booths open.
All factory employees viii be given an
opportunity to vote because of the
change IN the hours. Where factories
operated until O'Clock on election
days all employees were not given an
opportunity to vote when the polls
closed at Z o o'clock, but now with two
hours of grace after the factories close
no one can claim that he had not suf-
ficient time in which to vote.
In the past the result of the election
was generally known at 1880 O'Clock,
a half hour after the polls closed In
the future the result will not be known
until $3.50 clock.
There are scores of people in Keno
sha who do not yet know how to vote
properly at primary election. Tues
day many ballots were thrown out be-
cause of being defective, the voter de
string to give vote to each candidate
wherever there was a contest.
The voters of the state are anxiously
awaiting the decision of the supreme
court as to the legality of the primar.
election law. Many believe that th.
decision will hold the law illegal.

State Senator Bray of Oshkosh, who
was to speak on the conservation ques-
ton in Kenosha on Thursday evening
failed to put in an appearance. The
meeting was called off several days
ago, but the committee failed to mott
fly the men in charge of it here and
as result the telephones were kept
busy for several hours making an eff
fort to locate the speaker. The meet
ing will be held later in the year.

Politics is subject to Cupid out in
the town of Pleasant Prairie as the
Republican committee in that town has

The weakness of the primary is
shown in the fact that neither the Re
publieans or Democratic party has an
organization in Kenosha and it looks
as if the city clerk would have to call
in volunteers to canvass the vote of
the primary. 1t didn't require the
call of the city clerk to show that there
was no party organizations in Keno
sha. The alignment of the members
of the two parties on primary day
showed this better than anything else.

Politicians are skirmishing about for
candidates for the assembly. It is
about time that the city of Kenosha
had representative at Madison. The
country districts have furnished these
representatives for the past twelve
years and it is time that the tail quit

jority of the people in the county who
reside in the city be given chance
to say who should represent them in
Madison.
