URGES PARTY HARMONY
Neal Brown of Wausau Urges the De-
Inocracy of the State to Stick

Neal Brown of Wausau Urges the De-
mocracy of the State to Stick
Democratic leaders in Wisconsin
think they see an opportunity to profit
by the contests within the Republican
ranks if they can only hold their party
together and prevent the members
wandering off after strange gods.
In an endeavor to bring Democrats
all over the state to realizing sense
Of what their opportunities are and
what their duty should be, Neal
Brown of Wausau has written letter
to Col. George W. Bird, Madison, in
which Mr.. Brown points out the foolish
ness of Democrats leaving their own
party fol- another. As an opening
proposition Mr.. Brown said that it was
apparent that Democrats would in the
coming campaign, be asked to assist
Republicans who had revolted against
the tariff policies of the party. He
admitted that the Democrats at Wash
ington were logging ON the insur-
gents in their endeavor to tear the Re-
publican party to pieces but the rebel
lion would in the end amount to moth
ing.
Speaking of Cannon Mr.. Brown said:
Most of the Republicans who dislike
Cannon and his ways are too timorous
to do more than to voice their dislike
in whispers. And on the other hand,
those who approve of him hardly dare
say so among their constituents. Most
Of them spend all their time making
faces at Cannon without doing him or
his organization any harm. These are
family squabbles, entertaining, but not
worthy the serious attention of any
one, least of all of any Democrat. :"
After another attack on the new
tariff law he intimates that the Gre
bells" will come into line in time.

WANTS DEED SET ASIDE
Executor Also to Have Deeds Made by
William Brook Declared Invalid

Thomas Martin, executor of the last
will and testament of the late William
Brook formerly a farmer in the town
of Brighton, which was admitted to
probate after a sensational contest. has
filed a suit in the circuit court asking
that deed made by Brook just previ-
GUS to his death in which certain lands
in the town of Brighton were conveyed
to William Brook, Sarah Martin, Han
nah M. Brook, Harriet A. Brook and
Amelia Brook, be set aside as null
and void. In the complaint the plain
tiff alleges that the deed was made
only few days before the death of
William Brook and that at the time
of the making of the will Brook was
so i'll that he had no control over his
mental faculties. He alleges further
that undue influence was used in Sc
curing the signature of Brook to the
conveyance and that no consideration
was actually paid for the transfer of
the property. The will was recorded
a few days after the death of William
Brook. The suit demands that the
deed be declared invalid and that the
court issue an order declaring that the
defendants named in the action have
no rights in the property.

Women Creditors of Grand
Furniture Co., Must Pocket
Losses and Be Satisfied
NO CHANCE TO GET RETURNS

Many Kenosha women were in Mil
waulzee on Friday and joined with
women from Racine, Port Washington,
South Milwaukee, Sheboygan and Mil
waukee in an effort to have the United
States court in bankruptcy consider
their claims against the Grand Furni-
ture Company, Milwaukee company
which recently went into bankruptcy,
but no claims were accepted on Friday
as the court ruled that the time for fl
ing claims against the bankrupt COM
pany had expired and the women who
did not get their claims in early will
be forced to pocket their losses. At
that they will be just about as fortu-
nate as the women who filed claims i'm
mediately after the petition in bank
ruptcy was fled as an examination in
to the estate Of the bankrupt company
seems to indicate that the assets are
but 1878 and this will hardly be suf-
ficient to pay the costs of settling up
the business Of the company. At the
meeting of the creditors on Friday the
women clamored to get something in
return for their money, but they were
informed that there would be no divi-
sion of the assets for some time. The
total amount Of claims fled against
the company is in excess of $4,000.
The women were supplied with coupon
books some time ago which they pur-
chased stamps for at the rate of ten
cents and the books held by Kenosha
women show an investment Of from
$1.25 to $23. The managers of the
company admitted in court that just
previous to the filing of the bank
ruptcy proceedings they had sold sew
eral loads Of furniture from their show
rooms but that they had sold this furni-
ture in order to secure money with
which to pay the expenses of fling
petition in bankruptcy.

1t is very unfortunate that the
House of Representatives has seen fit
to reject bill giving authority for
future appropriations to purchase sites
and construct embassy and legation
buildings abroad.
Apparently many Of the representa-
tives thought their constituents would
regard such buildings as luxuries. They
were wrong in this. The buildings
would not interfere with shirt-sleeve
diplomacy, but rather would foster it.
At present only rich men can ac-
cept most of our posts abroad At
some capitals where poor men repre-
sent us their present housing and
status is not such as to reflect credit
on the country they represent, by com
parison with the representation which
other countries secure.
We should put up the necessary
buildings at foreign capitals and pro-
vide minimum maintenance over and
above the salaries paid our represen-
tatives.
Too big building would, indeed,
hamper rather than aid poor man.
But asuch criticism is no reason for
rejecting the bill. Proper buildings,
not buildings that are too big, are what
this country needs and should provide

PLEASED LARGE CROWD
Lake Forest University Glee Club Gives
Annual Concert in Kenosha Friday

Kenosha had little touch of the
college spirit on Friday evening when
the Glee Club made up of the students
of Lake Forest University gave its
annual concert at the Auditorium of
the high school. The auditorium was
well filled and the collegians made
decided hit with the varied program of
songs and monologues. The singing
of the Glee Club was the best work of
the kind heard in Kenosha in many a
day and the work of the other enter
tainers was decidedly meritorious. The
best portion of the program was the

dents at Lake Forest came home to aid
IN the reception given to the members
OF the Glee Club and many of the boys
will remain in Kenosha over Sunday

The cement sidewalk builders have
already commenced work and it is ex-
pected that when the weather warns
up enough to make it safe all Of them
will be employed full time an6 that
they will be rushed with work until
the cold weather again puts an end
to their operations in the fall. There
is still an immense amount of sidewalk
building to be done under the sidewalk
ordinances passed by the council, but
it should be possible to get it all done
this coming summer and it is not ex-
pected that the excuse of property
owners who are slow to comply with
the requirements of the ordinances that
it is impossible to get contractors to
do their work will be good after the
building season is well under way. If
they fail to make their own arrange
ments to build the walks the matter
will probably be taken up by the city
and the work done at their expense.
The building of these walks is long
step in advance and after the city
passes one more ordinance covering
whatever property has been overlook
ed in the first two ordinances Keno
sha will have a system of walks that
will compare favorably with that Of

PLAN ANNUAL CONVENTION
Sunday School Workers Meet at Con-
gregational Church in April

Arrangements are being completed
for the annual County Sunday School
Convention which is to be held at the
First Congregational church on April
4th and 5th. It is expected that every
Sunday school in the county will send
delegates to the convention. The con-
vention will be an inter denominational
affair and it will be the second gather
ing of the kind held in Kenosha. Dur
ing the last few years an effort has
been made to create more interest in
Sunday school work and the county
conventions in the various counties of
the state is one of the ways that the
movement is manifesting itself. At
the Kenosha convention a number of
the state leaders in Sunday school work
will be present and many of the lead
ing speakers of the county will be on
the program. 1t is expected that the
convention will be one of the largest
gatherings of Sunday school workers
ever held in this section of the state.

MESSNER OPPOSED TO PLAN
Old Ru1nor That Illness of the Bishop
of the Milwaukee Diocese Demanded
an Aid for Him is Officially De-
MED in Milwaukee Friday.

On account of the continued indispo-
sition of Archbishop Messmer of the
diocese of Milwaukee, persistent rum
ors have been afoat in Catholic circles
recently that the archbishop would pc
tition Rome for either an auxiliary
bishop or a bishop coadjutor. The
truth of these rumors are fatty denied
today by the Rev. Bernard Traudt,
secretary to the archbishop.
Somebody told me that the pur
pose of my contemplated visit to Rome
was to secure an appointment for my
self as auxiliary bishop or bishop CO.
adjutor," said Father Traudt, who
seemed to regard the idea as prepos-
ferrous and humorous. eff such an
appointment were under contemplation,
[ should leave the aspirations for some
older man who might be ambitious for
such honors. The simple fact is that
l am going abroad for few months
to combine pleasure with study. Be-
sides, the archbishop has no thought
of asking for an assistant. He does
not need one"
If Archbishop Messmer' s health con-
tinues to improve, he will probably 60
abroad in July, according to predic-
tion made by Father Traudt. The
archbishop is still in retirement at st.
Francis, where he accomplishes a great
deal of diocesan work every day, al
thought he is under constant care Of his
physicians. Father Traudt said that
he had almost recovered from a severe
attack of grippe, which incapacitated
him for few weeks.
"'The archbishop does not expect to
retire on account of i'll health, and
neither does he expect to ask for an
auxiliary bishop said Father Traudt.
Current interest in the proposed APP
pointment of either an auxiliary bishop
or a bishop coadjutor is revival of
similar talk that was rampant in Cath
Ollie circles two years ago. At that
time it is known that Archbishop Mess
mer seriously contemplated asking for
an auxiliary bishop, and the bishops Of
the province and consulators Of the
diocese had in mind prominent Polish
priest for the appointment, This Sc
lection, it was thought, would serve to
paeify a tendency among the Polish
priests that, at times, was almost
revolutionary, and at the same time
would give Archbishop Messmer use
full assistant. But certain unpolitis
actions on the part of prominent Polish
priests, and their attitude toward the
archbishop, resulted in the scheme be-
ing dropped. Since then, it is said, the
archbishop has given no serious
thought to the project of having an as
sistant bishop.
The appointment of bishop coad-
putor, which is said to be favored by
some of the clergy on account of the
archbishop's frail health, would neces-
state much more careful selection
than the appointment of an auxiliary
bishop, for the bishop coadjutor would
have the right of succession in the
event of the resignation or demise of
the present archbishop. An auxiliary
bishop, on the other hand, would be
merely subordinate officer, and would
do the work delegated by the arch
bishop.

The Republicans have the best chance

there are enough ambitious and popu-
lar men in the party to furnish candi-
dates for all of the places on the tic
ket if they were properly approached
and assured of proper support and an
effort should be made by every loyal
Republican to see that the party has a
full ticket to present to the voters at
the election.
