NO MORE DEADHEADS
Auditors Ar pointed by Governor
Recommend Abolition of Pas
ses at State Fair.

Gov. Adolph o. Eberhart has re-
ceived the report of J. A. O. Preus, E.
n. Stacy and Edward Erickson, the
board of auditors appointed by him to
examine the accounts of the state fair.
They make two important recommen-
dations and think passes should be
abolished, with the exception of passes
for newspaper men actually covering
the fair.
They also think that the fair spends
too much money on show and too
little on agriculture. Less Midway
and more apples" might be an epitome
of the recommendations of the board
in this connection.
In addition to the recommends tions
made by Anton Schaefer, state public
examiner, in his report. the board
also shows that w. g. Hebron, until
recently one of the Schaefer' assis-
tants, received from the fair $3.50 for
installing a new system Of accounting
recommended by the public examiner.

FAIR BOARD FIGHT
Underwood of Lake City PresI-
dent. Lively Sessions. Chief
Purpose of the Fair Argued.

Tuesday of slast week the State
Agricultural society, which runs the
Minnesota fair met in annual session
at the capitol in St.tPaul and right at
its start was thrown into a bitter fight
over the presidency. The rival can
didates J. F. Furlongsand J. NJ. I'M
derwood have been identified with the
fair management for many years and
both are widely known throughout the
state.H Underwood is nurseryman at
Lake City; Furlong is a farmer and
horsebreeder near Austin. The final
ballot for president resulted in the
election of John NJ. Underwood. Fol-
towing are the new officers of the Min
nesota State Fair: Pres, J. M. I'm
derwood, Lake City; first vice pres,
G. M. Griggs,ssSt. Paul, reelected;
second vice pres, E. p. Stillwell,
Minneapolis :s.members of board, of
managers: F. W. Murphy, Wheaton
(re-electedl: G. T. Craig, Duluth; W.
w. Sivright Hutchinson; T. IT. Can
field, Lake Park.
The society adopted resolution
favoring law requiring every county
board in a county where there is a
fair to appropriate to the fair as much
as the state appropriates to it. This.
too, the.society urges should be in
creased SO per cent annually.
The chief purpose of the fair, it was
urged by some speakers, should al
ways be the Improvement of the farm
and the farmer, although the fair must
always have other avenues of useful
ness to the existence of which it's off,
GERS should never be blind.

people in the suburbs pay their share
of the cost of maintenance of the de-
partment and there can be no argument
on the chief s contention that they are
just as much entitled to adequate fire
protection as the people in the more
thickly settled sections Of the city and
the only way to give it to them is to
carry out the recommendations for ex-
tending the water mains and putting in
the fire hydrants and alarm boxes. In
common with every other department
of the municipal service the fire de-
partment has had hard work to keep up
with the growth of the city but we
believe that most of the people of the
city favor maintaining high standard
in this department even should it be-
come necessary to skimp little in
other directions. The chief is free to
say and the facts bear him out that
the limit of territory which the pres
ent force can cover effectively has been
reached if not exceeded under certain
conditions which may arise any min
ute. He must have more men, more
equipment, and a better water supply
in order to give all property owners
the same measure of protection and he
should have them.

A bill to establish q pension fund for
the men of the Life Saving service will
probably be brought up at the next ses-
sion Of Congress and it is believed that
the measure will have the support of
the representatives from this state, in
anv event of those whose districts bor-
der the great lakes and who are fam
liar with the hardships and dangers to
which the life savers are exposed. The
life saving service is fully as hazardous
as that of the army or navy in time of
peace and the liability that a man may
be so crippled by disabilities incident
to the service as to be incapacitated
from earning his own living in any
other occupation, is as great or greater
than in the other two branches of the
government service mentioned. All of
the sailors on the lakes and oceans, Of
ficers, owners, and every one interested
in navigation in any way will be sup
porters of the bill for the Life Savers
pensions for all of these people have
first hand knowledge of the perils faced
and the chances taken by the crews
in their regular work of saving life.

or on how much they have tucked
away in all sorts of unlikely places. II
is known that this is a very common
practice among the foreigners all over
the country and in the aggregate they
must have huge sum withdrawn from
circulation. 1t is this money that the
postal savings banks are expected to
bring from its hiding places and make
available for use in transacting the
business of the country. These people
have faith in the ability Of the govern
ment, if in nothing else. to take care of
their money as is shown by the num-
Der Of non interest bearing money or

The annual report of the fire depart
ment for the year ending December l.
filed by Chief Isermann with the coun-
eli at its last meeting shows that the
department had a busy year and that
the high standard of efficiency which
the people of the city demand of the
department is being maintained. In
his report the chief made some recon-
mendations for the betterment of the
service which should receive the early
attention of the aldermen. He wants
the water mains extended in the sub
urbs of the city and in the newly an
nexed territory, more hydrants put in,
additional fire alarm boxes, some more
hose, and the addition of three men to
the force. The chief asks nothing more
than is reasonable to keep the depart
ment in the best possible condition and
he should be given what he wants. The

After the hospital is provided for
the next big undertaking before the
people of the city will be providing a
new building for the Y. M. c. A. SO
that the good work which that organl-
cation is doing in the city may not be
hampered for lack of room. 1t was
thought when the present building was
erected that it would be ample for all
of the needs Of the association for a
great many years to come but the
growth of the association has been so
rapid and so many additional lines OF
work have been taken up that its quar-
ters were long ago outgrown and when
the present membership campaign is
completed the association will have less
than ever to offer in the way of accom-
modations for it's members. The board
of directors has already secured an OPP
ton on site for new building and
it is expected that the problem of rails
ing funds for new quarters will be put
up to the people of the city some
time during the coming year.

CHURCH WANTS TRAINED MEN
Bishop Webb Speaks Before the Men s
Club of st. Matthews Parish on Work
of General Council at Philadelphia
On Tuesday Evening.

The 1t. Rev. Charles P. Anderson
Bishop of the Diocese of Chicago was
the guest of honor at the monthly. dim
ner of the Men s Club of st. Matthews
church on Tuesday evening and he gave
a very pertinent talk on the education
of the children in the public schools.
Bishop Anderson has made close
study of this subject and he declared
that the time was fast approaching
when the church would have to take
upon itself as its greatest work the
Christian education of the young. He
declared that to accomplish this work
it would be necessary for the church
to have its trained and paid educators
to have charge of work in the Sunday
schools and that the work of educating
/ the children would have to be made
one of the first movements of every re-
ligious organization. Bishop Anderson
referred to the decisions of the Illinois
and Wisconsin Supreme courts in which
it had been held that the reading of
the Bible and the repeating of prayers
in a school are unconstitutional and
while he neither criticised nor opposed
this decision of the court he held that
in the decision the courts had laid the
burden of the education of the child at
the door of the church. He spoke of
the work of the National Board of
Christian Education and declared that
this board had not been able to solve
the problem. He spoke of the sugges-
tion of every denomination having it's
teachers who would give one day of
each week to the religious education
of the children and declared that this
plan had been proven Impractical. The
Sunday school with its lack of trained
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1910-12-15

instructors he declared could not meet
the demand on the church for this par
ticular form of moral education and
that the problem of finding the right
way to meet this great province of
church work was one of the greatest
problems to be met by every denomina-
ton today.
The Rt Rev. w. w. Webb, Bishop
of the Diocese of Milwaukee was also a
guest at the dinner and he made a
few remarks in which he referred es-
pecially to the work which had been
done at the great national church meet
ing recently held in Philadelphia.
The meeting was one of the most in
teresting ever held by the Men IS Club
and fully $50 people were present.

SEE MANY USES.
Christmas Seals May be Placed on All
Sorts Of Christmas Matter.

"Christmas seals are not meant to
be used exclusively on mail matter, but
they should be stuck on everything
from a package of needles to loco
motive, /" says campaign manager Theo-
dore J. Werle of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association in answer to
inquiries received from several cities.
Purchasers of Christmas seals have
been cautioned to make intelligent use
of seals on mail matter, giving rise to
the idea that they are meant only for
letters, cards and packages.
"The Christmas seal is an educator
in addition to being a medium of OBJ
tanning revenue to carry on the war
fare against tuberculosis, said Mr..
Werle today. some Of the many uses
Of the seals is illustrated by the action
of d women s club in sending out a
delegation of children to stick seal
next to every spit mark on the side
walks This is splendid protest
against this filthy habit, which is in
itself responsible for consumption. f"
Business men are sticking Christ
mas seals on bills, statements receipts !.
society women on invitations and call
ing cards; bowlers on their score
sheets; school children on books; ply
sicians on prescriptions; stores on bun
dies, and in other unique ways. There
is no limit to the use of the seals.
While the sale of seals thus far has
been gratifying, some cities are lagg-
ing and thus reducing the average of
the entire state. IF Wisconsin is to
retain first rank among the states of
the Union, a position earned by deter
mined effort last year, the 1909 sale of
100000 must be doubled. States
which were far below Wisconsin last
year have set their mark beyond the
1909 Wisconsin sale and mean to win
out.

ROBBED IN CHURCH.
Well known stenographer Loses Money
and watch While Attending Church.

The police of the city have been ask
ed to make an effort to recover a watch
and a purse belonging to Miss Anna
Rochnowski, who is employed as stem
ographer in the office of City Attorney
Calvin Stewart. The watch and the
purse disappeared while the young wo-
man was attending church service at
st. George church on Monday evening
and it is thought possible that it was
taken by some person who sat near the
young woman S&ring the devot;ens.
The purse and the watch were placed
in a muff and when the young woman
left the church she found that they
were missing. The police are looking
for several people who it is thought
possible may throw some light on the
mystery.

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
James Rasmussen Clecged With Per
hitting Horses to Starve.

In the municipal court this morning
Judge Randall issued a warrant for
the arrest of James Rasmussen a resi-
dent of the town of Pleasant Prairie
on charge of cruelty to animals. The
complaint was made by Humane Agent
J. II. Karnes who alleges that Rasmus-
sen deliberately permitted a team of
horses to starve to death. The two
dead horses were found on Monday and
it is claimed that one of them had been
dead for nearly month. Rasmussen
was arrested on a similar charge two
years ago and at that time team of
horses was found dead in his barn I'M
der conditions which indicated that
they had died from lack of food. 1t is
expected that Rasmussen will have a
hearing in the municipal court on We'd

a fact Judging from the list OF missing
garments it does not appear that a mere
man would have much use for the art

An almost unbelievable tale OF
cruelty to animals was told in the mu-
nicipal court Tuesday in connection
with the issue Of warrant for the
man charged with the crime that of two
horses being deliberately starved to
death. If the charge is proved the most
charitable conclusion is that the owner
of the animals is insane.
