While everybody will approve Of any
effort made to get this tiresome con-
troversy between the city and the tele-
phone company over the right of the
city to free phones settled in some way
so that it will stay settled it does not
look if it was necessary for either the
city or the telephone company to go
to the expense Of sending representa-
tives to Madison to appear before the
state railroad commission and so get
into long and expensive fight. 1t
has been given out to the public that
there is no dispute between the city
and the company as to the facts in the
local case and that being so it would
have been a simple matter for the rep
resentatives of the city and the com
pany to draw up tatement covering
the whole case, sign it, and send it in
to the commission with the request that
the commission pass on the facts as
commission are doubtless familiar with
all of the previous decisions which have
any bearing on the case and will put
their own Interpretation on them when
they apply them to the Kenosha con
troversy. The commission will base
its decision on the facts in the local
case over which there is no dispute
and on previous decisions of the courts
bearing on the local case of which it
already has full knowledge, so that ex-
tended hearings with long arguments
are unnecessary and useless expense
besides delaying the decision of the
commission for all indefinite time.
Pending action by the commission the
council could do nothing else than pay
the bills and the aldermen cannot fair.
ly be criticised for ordering them paid.
The city is fully protected against loss
by the agreement made to return the
money in case the commission holds in
favor of the city and in case the com.
pany wins the city would have to pay
the bills anyway so that there is not
the slightest chance for the city to lose
anything. 1t may be said in passing
that the city attorney believes that the
city has a good chance to win and Sc
cure free telephone service and that if
it could not be avoided the council
would be justified in spending quite a
little money to get a hearing but what
is the use Of stirring up big and
expensive fight over something that
can just as well be settled without
spending cent.

The vast flood of human life that
pours into this country yearly, mil
lion strong, not only needs to be filter
ed by better tests, but it needs to be
regulated and watched more closely.
Every steamer should carry immigrant
inspectors, man and woman mot uni
formed, known only to the ship officers,
freely mixing in the Storage. These
could be watchful of those who bring
to this country girls and women for
immoral purposes, prompt to see those

Although it is well known that oys-
tiers are planted, it seems funny that
it is the department of agriculture that
is to inspect all the oyster beds and
the stations from which the bivalves
are shipped. The yearly output of
oysters on the Atlantic coast is valued
at nearly $2O,OoO,OOO A very great
part of the trade being interstate, the
traffic becomes subject to federal regu-
lation and inspection. We may ex-
pect to see the oyster swell with pride
and become more clearly than ever in
his person and surroundings as special
ward of Uncle Sam.-New York Herald.

ATHLETES MEET At AUDITORIUM
People of the City are Requested to
Give Aid TO the Association in
Entertaining Large Number of the
Delegates Coming

At meeting of the general commit
tee held on Thursday evening final ar
rangements were completed for the
state convention of the Young Men s
Christian Association to be held in
Kenosha beginning January IL. Re
ports from different parts of the state
indicate that the gathering in Keno
sha will be the largest and most repre-
sentative in the history of the associ-
'ation in Wisconsin and it is expected
that there will be at least 800 dele
gates present.
L. NJ. Theirs is in charge of the
committee on entertainment of the del
egates and it is expected that the peo-
pie of the city will throw open their
homes and give this band of Christian
workers a great reception to the city.
1t is expected that the larger number
of the delegates will be entertained in
private homes of the city and people
who will aid the association in the en-
tertainment of its guests should notify
the chairman of the committee at once.
The committee has planned to hold
all of the general sessions of the con
vention at the Park Avenue M. E.
church having one of the largest audi
forums in the city and seating capa-
city of nearly a thousand people.
The banquet which is to be held on
the evening of January 10 will take
place at the First Congregational
church and the athletic meet which will
be one of the big events of the conven-
ton will be held at the Goldberg audi
torium. This will furnish to the Wis
iting athletes the best possible place
for such a meet. Other meetings dur
ing the convention will be held at the
First Baptist church, the Y. M. G. A..
building and at Carpenters Hail. All
of the organizations in the city and
especially the church organizations
have been very liberal in aiding the
committee in completing the arrange
ments for the convention.
The convention is being widely ad-
vertised throughout the state and it
is certain that many Of the leading
workers among the associations in the
state will attend. Detailed programs
have been sent out and these will be
published at the time of the opening
of the convention.

A foretaste of what may happen was
given Saturday by a few hours of high
temperature when it looked as if the
whole city would be flooded out by
the melting snow. The freeze made
the streets and walks mass of solid
ice showing that there was o great
deal of water standing on them and
that very little of the water passed
off through the sewers as much of it
would have done had there been way
open for it to reach the catch basins
There is the biggest accumulation of
snow and ice on the streets now that
the city has had to contend with in
many years and unless the cutters and
catch basins are opened up and the
piles thaw gadually the city will have
the worst food in it's history. The
sewers are not nearly big enough to
carry off the water that would follow
any sudden rise in temperature.

TO BRING COOK OUT
Friends ofCOok Hold Meeting
With a View of Having
Him Oppose LaFollette
COOK SILENT AS TO PLANS

Leading members Of the S. A. Cook
organization were in Milwaukee Thurs
day evening and quietly discussed the
situation in the state, with reference
to the future work of the organiza-
tion and especially as to the political
future of s.. A. Cook.
The Cook men who were there were
aware of the overtures which have
been made from all the political camps
in the state which are opposed to Sem
ator LaFollette offering to unite on
Mr.. Cook as a senatorial candidate.
They said that while Mr.. Cook was
also aware of these overtures, he had
made no answer to them, and their
understanding was that he would like
to submit the question to his followers,
especially as that body had gone SO
far as to make definite request early
in the year that Mr.. Cook enter the
field as a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for governor.
As a result, it is said that if such
a meeting could be arranged it was
likely that the Cook organization
would be gotten together some day
next week in Milwaukee and the ques-
ton definitely discussed by that or
ganization, and if possible an express
sion obtained from it as to how it
views the overtures which are being
made to Mr.. Cook to enter the field
as a senatorial candidate.
The Cook men who were present
were by no means enthusiastic over
the proposition that Mr.. Cook run for
the senate against Senator Robert M.
LaFollette rather than for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor and
openly said they believe the organiza-
tion could exert greater influence for
Mr.. Cook as a gubernatorial candi-
date than they could for him as SEN
atorial candidate.
1t was also stated that while the
proposition that he run as the anti
LaFollette candidate, for the United
States senate had been made in definite
form to Mr.. Cook, he has as yet given
it no encouragement, and that as far
as Mr.. Cook was concerned he had
given no hint as to the likelihood of
his acceptance of the overtures.

Escape From Death on Sunday

j. Murray, a Chicago man, had mar

fell from Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric car and sustained such serious
injuries that he is now in the Kenosha
hospital Murray had been visiting
in Kenosha and had started to return
to Chicago on the car which left here

managed to get on the back step of
the car. He hung on until Tanck

became benumbed with the cold and
he was thrown into the ditch at the
side of the road He was removed to
the hospital in an ambulance. His
principal injury was severe scalp
wound, but he will probably be in the
hospital for several days.

Service on jury is one of the hardest
and most disagreeable duties that any
citizen is ever called upon to perform
and men who are otherwise most
scrupulous in performing every duty
imposed upon them as citizens are apt
to erade it if it is possible thing
for them to do so and the methods of
court procedure are such that any man
can escape service on any particular
case who wants to and almost any
method he may see fit to use to escape
is condoned by his fellow citizens. 1t
has reached the point that no one
serves unless he wants to and few of
the men who would make really desir
able jurors ever feel that theyemust
serve.

The Modern Woodmen are going at

The Modern Woodmen are going at
the task of getting ready for their
great picnic Systematically and com
mittees have been named to have
charge of the different departments of
the work. At the very lowest esti-
mate based on the attendance at other
gatherings Of the kind the crowd will
be the largest that ever invaded the
city and it is the duty Of every good
citizen of Kenosha to assist the Wood
men in every way in his power in pre-
pairing for the invasion. Something
of the magnitude of the task before
the Woodmen and the people of the
city may be realized when it is known
that the Woodmen estimate the lowest
attendance at 10000 and with favor
able weather it may run thousands
over that. Kenosha has yet to show
its ability to handle large crowd of
visitors and send them away pleased
with the city and the entertainment
furnished them and the successful out
come of the picnic means much, not
only to the Woodmen, but to the CITY.
The chances of securing other large
gatherings of fraternal organizations
and societies depend on the record
made at this coming picnic and
pleased crowd will be one of the best
advertisements the city ever had or
could have.

A Milwaukee man has Just been

on a perjury charge, the crime having
been committed in connection with an
examination in regard to his fitness
to serve on jury. It is hard
ly necessary to add that this
man lied for the purpose of get
ting ON the jury presumably for
the purpose of defeating the ends of
justice when it is stated that this is
the first case of the kind in the state
of Wisconsin and the fourth in the
United States. 1t is a much more seri-
Gus offense to lie to get on a jury than
it is to handle the truth little care
lessly in order to get out of serving

but it is and the fact that there is
no penalty for evading jury service
that is generally enforced is one of
the weak points Of the jury system.

There used to be an impression that
Kansas was entitled to sympathy.
When prairie schooner hove in view

thought was that some one was NOV

ed to see the same team, leaner than
before, pulling a dilapidated wagon
out of the west year or two later.
They were quitting Kansas, land Of
drought and desolation. Today no one
dares to say anything against the Sun

to prove that Kansas has a little the
advantage of every other section Of
